We expect the construction industry's growth trajectory will be resilient in the wake of the recent terrorist attack, which took place in March 2016 in the coastal town of Grand Bassam, east of the capital.

With substantial expenditure into infrastructure compounding its fiscal deficit, the government plans to raise around USD2bn externally to support its expansionary budget.

Activity in the transport and energy sectors will be the key drivers of construction industry growth over the first half of our forecast period.
