"Taiwan Infrastructure Report Q4 2015" Published

Taiwan's construction industry will accelerate at a modest pace through to the end of our forecast period in 2024, despite a very slight slow in growth in 2015 . Weak gross fixed capital formation and government consumption will hold the industry back a little, but overall positive economic growth, a business-oriented monetary environment, a desire to improve transport and changes in the energy policy will provide tailwind. Downside risk will come from weak external demand and falling house prices.

Key Trends And Developments

The 2015 budget has allocated TWD5bn (USD160mn) to improving transportation networks and facilities to help encourage public transportation usage, with the government aiming for public transportation to have a market share of 30% by 2025.

We expect Taiwan to continue relying heavily on thermal sources to meet power demand, thus ensuring that the country's import bill remains high. Such a situation will only strengthen the need for energy security and diversity in the long-term, which should benefit renewables and thermal infrastructure development - although public sentiment is poor towards expanding the latter as an energy source.

Taipei mayor Ko Wen-je is attempting to deal with graft and improve the city's business reputation. In March he announced the Taipei City Joint Center for Project Contract Outing and Purchasing, which will openly handle all works procurement for non-construction related city government departments. At a BOT system evaluation conference in May he called for a shakeup of the current system and pointed blame at the entanglement between business and politics, as well as a culture of dishonesty in politics.
