Construction

Building contractors in Kuwait will be hoping that the roll out of the state’s $108bn national development plan drives up activity in the sector, although political wrangling and red tape could mean key projects struggle to meet their 2014 deadlines.

Prices in Dubai’s residential property segment have posted solid growth over the past few months, and other areas of the sector are also showing signs that recent declines are beginning to reverse. However, due to excess supply in many segments, it will be some time before demand catches up with new development.

While the Strategic Tunnel Enhancement Programme (STEP) may not have grabbed as many headlines as some of Abu Dhabi’s larger infrastructure projects, the new wastewater network is crucial to the long-term health and welfare of the city.

Desde que el Presidente Felipe Calderón asumió la presidencia en 2006, el desarrollo de infraestructura formó parte importante de la agenda política de su gobierno. Si bien el Programa de Infraestructura Nacional (PIN) 2007-12 ha invertido $205 mil millones de 2007 a 2011, al entrar en su último año todavía queda mucho por hacer.

South Africa’s construction industry is beginning to revive activity, with demand in most segments still muted following a post-World Cup 2010 slowdown in project spending, but edging up slowly – although a proposal by a senior government minister for the establishment of a state-owned contractor may dampen private sector confidence.

Suite à une forte demande de modernisation des infrastructures que l’on observe actuellement dans l’ensemble du pays, tout porte à croire que le secteur du BTP algérien proposera cette année toute une série d’importants projets à des entreprises algériennes et internationales.
