The German construction sector is operating at about 80% going into July and August and seems to be emerging as one of the bright spots in a country that has been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic.

New project bids are being awarded, but industry watchers at HDB, the German construction industry association, report that there is still risk in the medium- to long-term for increasing drops in demand and potential project cancellations.
