Germany: The German Cement Works Association (VDZ) expects cement consumption to continue growing in 2017. The pronouncement follows data showing that consumption rose by 3.2% year-on-year in the country to 27.5Mt in 2016. VDZ president Christian Knell attributed the growth to a high level of building activity and good weather. Looking forward to the rest of 2017, he said that housing and infrastructure projects are expected to support the growth of cement sales.
