The latest Dodge Momentum Index (DMI) information for March has shown a continued decrease in economic activity, dropping 8.6% to a new score of 164.0 from February's revised total of 179.5. Over the month, commercial planning fell 3.2%, while institutional planning dropped 17.2%. The decline in commercial performance is attributed by Dodge Construction Network to slow growth in office and hotel planning, while the institutional sector decline is linked to a decline in education planning.
