Market Report, "Romania Infrastructure Report Q3 2015", published

Given the strengthening outlook for the Romanian economy and the government's more stable fiscal position after years of tight spending, we have upgraded our forecasts for Romania's construction sector. We now forecast real growth of 3.9% year-on-year in 2015, followed by 4.2% in 2016.

Key Trends And Developments

* The transport masterplan was published in November 2014 and it revealed that the country needs to invest about EUR50bn (USD61.97bn) through to 2030 to enhance and expand its transport infrastructure. The European Commission (EC) will provide funds worth EUR6.8bn (USD7.21bn) until 2020 for infrastructure projects included in the Transport Masterplan of Romania. The EU will fund 25% of the cost of the plan, while the Romanian government will cover 15%, with the remainder being secured from loans from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).
* Nuclear power will be key to driving Romania's energy sector given the prospect of massive Chinese and Canadian investment in the second half of the decade. Renewables will also continue to play an important role, although the scaling back of the government's support will slow investment.
* We continue to highlight the improving environment for the residential sector while recovery for the non-residential building sector remains less secure. There are signs that the residential sector is recovering and in 2015/16 we expect the demand within the sector to grow. BMI's new residential building forecasts see real growth of 3.9% in 2015, while the non-residential building segment will grow by 4.5% in real terms.
