# South Africa’s civil construction sector sentiment remained unchanged between April and June, with the FNB/Bureau for Economic Research civil confidence index steady at 43 points. This suggests that more than half of the surveyed firms are still dissatisfied with current business conditions. FNB senior economist Siphamandla Mkhwanazi says high costs and global uncertainty have affected activity, but expects a possible recovery if conditions improve and demand from sectors like energy, mining, and transport continues.
