Qatar Infrastructure Report Q4 2014 - New Study Released

There is substantial momentum i n the Qatari construction industry , which has raised the prospect of an upwards revision to our 2014 forecast, currently 11.8% year-on-year. The numerous large scale infrastructure projects entering construction over 2014, such as the Doha Metro and further elements of Doha's new port, will keep growth rates elevated this year . However, with these projects entering the construction phase, the capacity constraints in the industry will be felt even more sharply and drag on growth over the medium term , although efforts to realise projects by the 2022 FIFA World Cup will see growth pick up towards the end of our 10-year forecast period to 2023 .

After growing 19.6% in Q114, Qatar remains one of our favourite construction markets in the GCC, buoyed by huge government investment and growing consumer demand. BMI's Country Risk team believes Qatari economic activity will continue to expand at a strong pace throughout 2014, driven primarily by growth in the non-oil sector and the government's fiscal policy is set to remain strongly supportive of the construction sector. Robust private consumption on the back of a fast-growing population, large government spending commitments, and continued progress on infrastructure projects will lead the residential and non-residential sector in particular outperforming over the long-term.
