Market Report, "Czech Republic Infrastructure Report Q4 2015", published

Our forecasts for the Czech construction and i nfrastructure sector remain steady, with marginal growth of 3. 3 % for 2015. After struggling with underfunding for many years, the transport sector is enjoying EU-driven investment into its four trans-European transport corridors, which will sustain growth, particularly in the rail sub-sector, in the medium term. Residential and non-residential construction are further bright spots, with investor sentiment improving, house prices rising and new construction starts on the rise.

Key Trends And Developments

Over the coming years we expect the EU's EUR63.4bn transport-focused Cohesion Fund to play a central role in financing Central and Eastern European (CEE) infrastructure. In late 2013, the European Council officially adopted the EU's multi-annual financial framework for 2014-2020, setting the parameters for the Cohesion Fund and Connecting Europe Facility, which will support the funding of the TEN-T transport corridors and the TEN-E energy networks. The projects included in the TEN programmes have a heavy weighting towards the less developed networks in CEE.

Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka said a call for bids for a new unit of the country's Dukovany Nuclear Power Station will be announced by end-2016. 'The government intends to install a new unit in each of the Czech nuclear power plants - Temelin and Dukovany. Construction of the first unit will begin in Bohunice [in western Slovakia] since it is much older than Temelin,' said Sobotka (Sputnik News). Westinghouse Electric Company, Rosatom and Areva, among other firms, are expected to place their bids for the new unit.
