FOCUS
The construction industry in the Gulf region is in a phase of growth, encouraged by factors such as
favorable macroeconomics, higher government allocation towards the construction sector, positive
demographics and rising tourism activities.
The Gulf region is aiming to attract higher investments into its construction sector by hosting global
events and showcasing itself as a preferred tourist and investor destination. The GCC governments’
challenge to diversify their economies from oil and gas and their consistent focus on infrastructure
development across sectors has kept the construction industry in focus.
Optimistic forecasts for the UAE’s construction sector for the next few years is based on an economic
recovery, its safe haven status, a liberal investment climate, relatively advanced real estate regulatory
framework as well as a buoyant infrastructure project pipeline as part of the country’s strategic Vision
2021.
In Saudi Arabia, efforts to boost religious tourism have translated into higher budget allocations towards
the hospitality, retail and infrastructure sectors.
The outlook for Qatar’s residential, hospitality and infrastructure construction markets appears optimistic
due to healthy population growth, mega events and the economy picking up pace.
The construction industry in Oman is expected to remain robust driven by a significant increase in
infrastructure projects planned by the government, tourism projects, an undersupplied residential market
as well as the construction of commercial space.
In Kuwait, the construction industry is set to thrive driven by the infrastructure sector, new projects from
the private sector to address the need for affordable housing and an increase in demand for commercial
space.
Developing its infrastructure and reducing its affordable housing shortage remains the principal focus of
the government of Bahrain in the coming years.
Though the GCC construction industry is growing, it is not devoid of challenges. The dip in oil prices may
push GCC nations to restrict state spending, hampering the growth of the construction industry, which is
materially dependent on government funding.
The opportunities available in the construction industry could be affected due to lower investments from
the private sector and plunging disposable income levels. Further, lower tourist inflow from oil-dependent
nations may hamper the growth of the construction industry.
Simultaneous rapid expansion of the GCC construction markets could result in a shortage of raw
materials used in the sector, particularly cement. In addition, tough regulations on imports coupled with
logistical challenges have led to the increase of raw material prices in the GCC.
Despite various challenges and a change in trends, the momentum is strong for the GCC construction
sector. A favorable macroeconomic environment, a growing tourism sector and government support will
ensure that the construction sector will continue to play a critical role in transforming the GCC’s
landscape.

By Sarah Townsend
Bahrain International Airport
Bahrain has awarded a $26 million (BD10 million) contract for construction of the new passenger terminal
building at Bahrain International Airport, it was reported on Sunday.
Transportation and telecommunications minister Kamal Ahmed said the latest contract has been awarded
to G P Zachariades Engineering and Construction, reported Gulf Daily News, and follows the awarding of
the first enabling works package last February.
Ahmed said: “The tender process supports the project’s schedule and the ministry anticipates the

million.”
The new terminal is part of Bahrain’s Airport Modernisation Programme, to develop the country’s aviation

Under the second phase of the plans, existing facilities will be relocated to facilitate construction on the
new 206,000 sq m BIA passenger terminal building.

Dawnus wins $62m hydropower project in Liberia
15 June 2015
Dawnus International, an international civil engineering and building company, has signed a contract for
the main civil works package worth $62m at Mount Coffee hydropower plant in Liberia.
The main civil works package will include reconstruction and rehabilitation of the main dam, powerhouse,
spillway and intake, as well as infrastructure and road works.
The project will transform the existing Mount Coffee plant, a hydroelectric facility built in the 1960s and
unable to generate power since the 1990s, to a working hydroelectric scheme that will provide electricity
to Liberia's capital Monrovia and the surrounding areas.
Dawnus will collaborate closely with other specialist contractors to refurbish the dam, enabling it to
generate power.
Work on the project will start in September 2015 with the first power expected to be generated by the
plant by 2017.
Dawnus International managing director Bob Kottler said: "We are very proud to be part of this important
project. Liberia's electricity grid was almost entirely destroyed during the civil war, and the development
will bring enormous benefits to the country."

Ethiopia power grid to to benefit from US$ 120m high-voltage transmission
lineNewsEast Africa
Jun 27, 2015
Ethiopia power grid is to benefit from plans to commence on a mega construction worth US$ 120m of a
high-voltage transmission line connecting with Kenya as part of plans to boost regional power exports.
“The Ethio-Kenya Power Interconnection Project will help to utilize power resources together and the
national network expansion will facilitate power trade in the region,” said Ethiopia’s Water, Irrigation and
Energy Minister Alemayehu Tegenu.
The multi-million agreement was signed by Ethiopian Electric Power’s Chief Executive Azeb Asnake and
the CEPET’s vice-president Chen Wei from China Electric Power Equipment and Technology.
The transmission line will stretch from Wolaita in southern Ethiopia to the border, making half of the
planned 1,045 km link with Kenya. It will consist of a 2,000 MW capacity once complete.
It is jointly financed by African Development Bank, World Bank and the French Development Agency,
with the AfDB financing the Ethiopian part of the project.
The project is anticipated to be completed in less than three years from now.
Ethiopia currently exports less than 10mw to the Kenyan border towns; it plans to increase the current
100 megawatts it sells to Sudan and the 50 megawatts to Djibouti this year. It also has agreements to
export 400 megawatts to Rwanda and Tanzania and soon to Burundi.

Construction work on the new terminal will be completed by 2018, while the renovation of the existing
terminal is set to be finished in 2019. The passenger capacity of the airport will increase from 4.5 million
to 12.5 million per year.
DOTC secretary Joseph Emilio Aguinaldo Abaya said: "The kick-off ceremony for the construction of the
new international terminal for the country's second-biggest gateway, the Mactan-Cebu International
Airport (MCIA), is touted to be the start of Philippine airports matching the best in the world.

Work begins on $50m Philippines LRT extension project
9 June 2015
The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and the Light Rail Transit Authority
(LRTA) have commenced construction work on the PHP2.27bn ($50.3m) Light Rail Transit (LRT) Line 2
East Extension project in the Philippines.
The project will add 4.2km to the transit line extending up to Masinag in Antipolo City and will cater to an
additional 75,000 daily passengers living in densely populated areas of Rizal.
The Masinag extension will include the construction of a 4km elevated viaduct from Santolan, Pasig City
to Masinag, Antipolo City apart from building two additional stations, namely the Emerald Station in
Cainta, Rizal, and the Masinag Station at the Masinag junction in Antipolo City.
The project, to be delivered by contractor D.M. Consunji, will be operational by the third quarter of 2017.
DOTC Secretary Jun Abaya said: "The LRT-2 system is a crucial transportation service that hundreds of
thousands of passengers rely on.

Investments in SME industries in GCC reached $15.3b in 2014
(Wam) / 27 June 2015
Abdulaziz bin Hamad Al Ageel, secretary-general of GOIC, pointed out that the total
investments in small and medium industries throughout GCC countries touched $15.3 billion in
2014.
Abu Dhabi — The Gulf Organisation for Industrial Consulting, or GOIC, revealed that the number of small
and medium-sized factories in the GCC countries was around 13,480 in 2014, including 10,809 small
factories and 2,671 medium factories.
Abdulaziz bin Hamad Al Ageel, secretary-general of GOIC, pointed out that the total investments in small
and medium industries throughout GCC countries touched $15.3 billion in 2014, which is the equivalent
of 4.1 per cent of the total investments in the Gulf industrial sector, amounting to $380.1 billion.
Al Ageel noted that $6 billion were invested in small-scale industries and $9.4 billion in medium
industries.
GOIC relies for the classification of industries, on the uniformly invested capital standard to distinguish
between the different types of gulf industries, after a thorough review of the manufacturing industry
database components in the Gulf Cooperation Council states, where small industries are those that have
less investments than $2 million, and medium sized industries are those with a capital ranging between
$2 million and less than $6 million.
36
Global Project Opportunities: July’ 2015
According to GOIC data, the small and medium-sized factories amounted in 2014 for 82.7 per cent of the
total number of factories operating in manufacturing industries. In the same context, these industries
offer employment to 44.1 per cent of the total industrial sector workforce in spite of the small size of
investments which contributed by four per cent of the total investments in the manufacturing industries.
According to GOIC data, the number of small and medium-sized factories in the GCC countries was
around 13,480 in 2014, including 10,809 small factories and 2,671 medium factories.
These factories represent 82.7 per cent of the total number of manufacturing industries in the GCC
estimated to a total of 16,292 factories.
Total investments in small and medium industries was up to $15.3 billion, just 4.1 per cent of the total
investments in the Gulf industrial sector estimated around $380.1 billion in 2014. $6 billion of these
investments were in small-scale industries and $9.4 billion in medium industries.
As for the workforce, small and medium industries offered employment for 674,933 workers or 44.1 per
cent of the total number of workers in manufacturing industries, which recruit roughly 1.5 million
workers. Small industries have recruited 28.7 per cent of the total employees while medium industries
recruited 15.5 per cent.
According to GOIC, small and medium industries are distributed numerically on all industrial activities,
but they are largely concentrated on the activity of construction metals, transportation and other
industries with 3,683 factories constituting 27 per cent of the total number of small and medium-sized
factories.
The production of non-metallic material industry, that is building materials, came in second place with
about 2,297 plants accounting for nearly 17 per cent of the total number of small and medium-sized
factories, followed by the food and beverage industries and rubber and plastics products with 11 per cent
and the remaining industrial activities with smaller percentages.
In terms of accumulated capital, structural metals manufacturing, transportation and other industries
came first with $3.9 billion, accounting for about 25 cent of the total investments in small and mediumsized industries.
The building materials industry came in second place with $3.2 billion as the size of cumulative
investment in 2014 was about $3.2billion, or 21 per cent, followed by food products and beverages
industry with $1.9 billion, amounting for 13 per cent of the total investments, followed by the rubber and
plastics industry with $1.7 billion amounting to10.8 per cent, followed by the rest of the industries at less
percentages.
As for the number of employees, construction metals, transportation and other industries ranked first
with 184 000 workers accounting for 27 per cent of the volume of workers in small and medium-sized
industries.
Building materials industry came in second place with 118,000 workers forming 17 per cent of the total
number of workers in small and medium-industries, followed by food products and beverages industry
with 71,000 workers and 10 per cent, then manufacturing of rubber and plastic products with 65,000
workers and 53 per cent, followed by the rest of industries with less percentages

New hotels: Dubai still leads with with 96 projects
Issac John - Associate Business Editor / 25 June 2015
Dubai — Dubai is leading the Middle East and Africa in new hotel developments with 96 total projects and
36,523 rooms in the pipeline, a report released on Wednesday said.
A Top hotel projects report said Dubai, which has been the Middle East and Africa’s leading city for hotel
openings for the past three years, is now recording an all-time high activity to boost the room capacity
from the current 65,000 to over 100,000 by 2020.
According to JLL, a leading real estate investment and advisory firm, Dubai is set to see a massive
increase of 28,000 new hotel rooms by 2018.
Statistics at the end of 2014 show that Dubai had 413 graded hotel establishments with a total of 65,000
rooms, up 3,500 compared to 2013.
Including hotel apartments, Dubai’s total hotel portfolio grew from 611 to 659 — a 7.8 per cent growth
over the course of the year. Supply has grown at five per cent per annum over the last five years. Total
room supply is expected to grow 12.5 per cent per annum between 2015 and 2018.
According to the latest figures issued by Dubai’s Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing, in
2014 alone, of the 44 new hotels and hotel apartments (comprising 27 hotels and 17 hotel apartments),
13 hotels came from the four-star sector and nine of the new apartments fell into the standard
classification.
The boom is mid-market hotels was spurred by Dubai government’s incentives including 10 per cent fee
waiver.
Christine Davidson, event director of The Hotel Show Dubai, the largest event for the hospitality industry
in the region, said a total of 694 hotel projects are currently underway in the Middle East and Africa to
add 188,817 rooms to the market over the coming years, the majority before 2020.
The busiest year for Dubai hotels is reported to be 2017, with 30 projects opening to the public. Dubai’s
first fully-solar-powered hotel, Hotel Indigo Dubai The Sustainable City, and its first Mandarin Oriental
and Bulgari luxury hotels are to open in 2017.
The major Dubai Pearl development, a “mix of six innovative five-star hotels” is reported to launch in
early 2018 including Dubai’s first MGM Grand and Bellagio hotels, brands made famous by the Las Vegas
strip.
Other hot spots are Morocco with 46 active projects, Riyadh with 43 and Doha with 38, following closely
behind Dubai. Of almost 700 total hotel projects in the pipeline for the Middle East and Africa, 528 are
listed as being in the pre-planning, planning and construction stages, with local and international
investors now requiring the materials to build across technology and security, interiors, food services and
more.

EDB offers loans for housing, SMEs
Haseeb Haider / 18 June 2015
Abu Dhabi: Emirates Development Bank (EDB) has begun its lending activities by financing housing for
UAE nationals, as well as funding SMEs and other sectors vital to growth.
The development bank, which has been launched after the merger of Emirates Industrial Bank and Real
Estate Bank, was formally launched by Shaikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and
Minister for Presidential Affairs of the UAE, on Tuesday, in the presence of the nation’s top financial
policy-makers, regulators and key bankers.
The bank has an authorised capital of Dh10 billion and the source of Dh5 billion to help in financing
developmental, residential and industrial projects for UAE nationals. The bank will provide affordable
housing finance to around 30,000 Emiratis six years from now.
A sum of Dh500 million will be allocated towards a credit guarantee scheme with other banks to be
available for knowledge-based SMEs, in addition to Dh300 million for SMEs.
The development bank will build strategic partnerships with local and federal authorities to encourage
UAE nationals to start businesses; one example being the support of Emirati innovators through the
Takamul programme. Through this approach, the bank aims to create a diversified economy, which is
sustainable and can deliver long-term prosperity for the UAE.
EDB will offer a number of products to UAE citizens, including supplementary loans, home purchase and
construction loans. Products for local businesses will include the credit guarantee scheme, business
account and strategic sector finance. Other areas where EDB will engage with UAE nationals include
healthcare, manufacturing, ICT and construction.
Al Nahyan was pleased at the bank’s commencement of business activities. He hoped that EDB will be a
key addition to the banking sector that will boost overall growth of the economy, and provide Emiratis
with services that help them achieve key milestones in their lives, such as owning homes, in addition to
supporting entrepreneurs and SMEs.
Khaled Mohammed Salem Balama, EDB chairman, said the bank has the “ability to help shape the
nation’s future, empowering Emiratis who aspire to take possession of their own home, while also
supporting key areas of the economy, particularly the innovative and entrepreneurial small and medium
enterprise sector.”
Established in 2011 under a decree issued by The President, His Highness Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al
Nahyan, EDB’s vision is to help build a national economy and allow citizens access to suitable
accommodation by providing finance at affordable economic cost.
Rashid Mahboob, acting CEO of EDB, said the success of launching EDB’s operations will provide an
impetus to EDB as “we commence our journey, driving development in our nation, our economy and our
community.”

More room: Saudi Arabia, UAE lead in hotel pipeline
Issac John (Associate Business Editor) / 17 June 2015
Dubai: The UAE and Saudi Arabia lead the hospitality industry in the Middle East region with a combined
pipeline of more than 50,000 hotel rooms under construction, latest data released by STR Global shows.
Saudi Arabia reported the most rooms under construction with 28,050 rooms in 64 hotels. The UAE
followed with 22,724 rooms in 90 hotels. Qatar (6,383 rooms in 26 hotels) was the only other country in
the region to report more than 5,000 rooms under construction.
There are 653 hotels totalling 159,945 rooms under contract in the Middle East and Africa region,
according to the May 2015 STR Global Construction Pipeline Report.
This represents a 16.1 per cent increase in rooms under contract compared with May 2014 and a 40.4
per cent year-over-year increase in rooms under construction.
The “under contract” data includes projects in the in construction, final planning and planning stages but
does not include projects in the unconfirmed stage.
The region reported 91,510 rooms in 351 hotels under construction for the month.
PwC’s second Middle East hotel forecast warns that with so much new supply coming on stream across
the region, the question is whether this upswing is sustainable in the future. “With over 54,000 rooms
under construction and another 72,000 planned for the region, supply could well start to outstrip
demand, putting ever greater pressure on both occupancy and ADR [average daily rate],” PwC said in a
recent report.
According to the latest figures issued by Dubai’s Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing,
Dubai’s hospitality industry is poised to enter a new growth trajectory with rooms predicted to surge to
140,000-160,000 keys by 2020 from 93,030 as of January 2015.
In 2014 alone, of the 44 new hotels and hotel apartments (comprising 27 hotels and 17 hotel
apartments), 13 hotels came from the four-star sector and nine of the new apartments fell into the
standard classification. The boom is mid-market hotels was spurred by Dubai government’s incentives
including 10 per cent fee waiver.
In 2014, Dubai’s hotel portfolio grew from 611 hotels and hotel apartments to 659 — a 7.8 per cent
growth over the course of the year.
In May, hotels in the UAE recorded an increase in supply by 5.6 per cent and an eight per cent growth in
demand.
Occupancy has also been positive, showing a 2.3 per cent increase to 80 per cent.

Dubai Sports City on track to hit major milestones
Staff Report / 12 June 2015
Dubai: Dubai Sports City has revealed the full progress made since the project was launched in 2004,
with a huge push towards completion now underway.
With major milestones set to be met in the next two years, construction on new residential, commercial
and sport facilities are scheduled to be completed in what is already a thriving community, which is part
of the vision of His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime
Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai and his focus on healthy lifestyle communities.
The 50-million square feet community – the world’s first integrated purpose- built sports city – located on
Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, has already seen huge projects completed such as Victory Heights,
The Els Club, Canal Residence West, Canal Retail Promenade and Sports Village, which is constantly
growing as more and more residents and visitors use the world- class facilities on offer.
With growth currently in full swing, Dubai Sports City expects to see a further 5,000 residents move in
over the next 12 months, taking the population to 20,000. Once development is completed, the
community will be home to 70,000 people. On top of the huge effort to make Dubai Sports City a place
where an active lifestyle is on residents’ doorsteps, 200,000sqf of retail space will soon be a part of the
community, with shops opening up along the Canal and within the housing developments. “We’re making
great progress now,” said Vijay Sajjanhar, Dubai Sports City CFO. “We have a great mix of residential,
sporting facilities and F&B outlets which are proving big success stories.”

Qatar building boom proves challenge for foreign construction firms
Construction of the Sharq Crossing, Qatar's $12 billion bridge and underwater tunnel link across Doha
bay, was due to start this year to be ready for the 2022 World Cup, but that deadline has slipped as the
government shifts priorities.
The Gulf state's plans to splurge $200 billion on infrastructure as part of its 2030 development plan has
lured foreign contractors to what promised to be big profits, but project delays and problems with
contracts and bureaucracy have left many in difficulties and their returns uncertain.
The government, too, appears to be reassessing its plans, although officials allude to a temporary but
indefinite halt to projects rather than cancellations.
Other schemes that have been put on hold include a multi-billion dollar chemicals plant north of the
capital Doha and Doha Grand Park, modelled on New York's Central Park.
"Qatar has mothballed a lot of vanity projects," said a source at a construction company operating in
Qatar who spoke on condition of anonymity. "It's indicative of how the country's grand aspirations have
been toned down a little bit."
Corruption allegations that have rocked soccer's governing body FIFA, have put renewed media focus on
Qatar and its hosting of the 2022 football World Cup, although Qatari officials say they are confident the
event will go ahead as planned.
The World Cup directly accounts for only about $10 billion of the $200 billion development programme,
but uncertainty about the tournament is adding to a testing environment for foreign contractors in the
Gulf state.
While Qatar's vast wealth from natural gas production has enabled it to splash out on new infrastructure,
it is doing so on strict terms.
"Qatar... fears being taken for a ride by international consultants - that this is a gold rush, a boom town,
and companies are going to fleece them for as much money as they can," said the source.
Clauses in some contracts can make consultants financially liable for several years after the project has
been delivered.
"Construction companies and consultants are bank-rolling the projects for their clients," said the source.
42
Global Project Opportunities: July’ 2015
Getting their money back can be a lengthy process.
Middle East companies and local joint ventures seem to fare better in Qatar because they are seen as
long-term investors in the country.
"We prefer somebody who comes to work with us, not only for one job and then leaves," said Jalal Salhi,
infrastructure affairs director at Qatar's Public Works Authority (Ashghal), which is in charge of the Sharq
Crossing and other projects.
International construction firms or consultants can only apply for projects worth more than about 200
million riyals ($54.93 million), said Salhi.
Many opt for joint ventures to ease cash-flow strains - a local partner employs around 90 percent of
workers and gets about 60 percent of the money, with an international firm providing the more expensive
employees.
"Contracts in the Middle East generally favour the client more than they would in the West, for example.
There are a myriad of clauses that make the contractor liable," said Nick Smith, Partner at engineering
consultants Arcadis in Qatar.
Clients unwilling to pay for design alterations is one obstacle, said a second construction industry source
who spoke on condition of anonymity.
"Most contractors suffer major cash-flow shortages, in part because clients don't accept paying extra for
essential changes due to the original design plans being late or inadequate and unworkable unless
amended," he said.
For the World Cup, Qatar has appointed project managers to build five stadiums to host games, but must
use 8-12 stadiums as per the bid terms.
"Rolling out the master plans for the 2022 World Cup has taken longer than anybody had thought," said
Darrell Bergesen, General Manager of Abu Dhabi contractor Al Jaber LEGT Engineering & Contracting's
(ALEC) Qatar office.
"However, it is a massive undertaking and the first for the Middle East, so the scale should not be
underestimated and maybe we shouldn't be so surprised at the time taken."
The World Cup has thrown the spotlight on labour conditions in Qatar. Human rights groups and trades
unions say construction workers have died due to poor conditions on sites. Qatar denies the claims.
43
Global Project Opportunities: July’ 2015
It has promised broad labour reforms, but has not set a timetable. Foreign companies complain that for
each project the Ministry of Labour allocates each company a set number of visas for workers from a
particular country, often regardless of whether there are people from those countries willing to take the
job.
"The quota system is extremely challenging and ultimately this affects our ability to perform and deliver,"
said ALEC's Bergesen.
Ashghal has only issued four consultancy tenders for projects this year, compared to 25 issued between
mid-February and end-December last year, its website shows.
Ashghal's Salhi said some foreign companies turn away after realising how much competition they face.
"Some of the contractors, they came, we pre-qualified them but they did not tender," said Salhi.
"They said that was because of a very competitive market, because we have Asian, Turkish contractors or
whatever, but we're in a global market: we can't say we'll only open a tender to European companies."
Qatar says that short-term delays will not derail its infrastructure programme, which will support the
state's economic development.
"A clear plan is in place in regard of the implementation of the major infrastructure projects," Qatar's
government said in a statement to Reuters.
"The government is keen to avoid any bottlenecks that may arise while at the same time continuing to
closely coordinate fiscal and monetary policies towards that end."
Few markets can match the pace of Qatar's economy, which is expanding by more than 6 percent
annually, but disappointment that fast growth does not translate into quick profits is prompting some
foreign companies to go elsewhere.
"Contractors poured into Qatar because they were blinded by the opportunity and too many are chasing
revenue, even if that doesn't lead to profit," said the second construction source.
"Qatar is a very difficult environment for contractors - most are losing their shirt, so why stay in a market
where everyone is losing money?"

Dubai
Marina
challenges
preconceptions
AP / 20 June 2015
Dubai: First-time visitors are often surprised to discover that beyond Dubai’s atmospheric creekside
bazaars and rows of skyscrapers leading up to tallest-of-them-all Burj Khalifa lies yet another dense
cluster of ultra-high architecture shimmering like a mirage in the distance.
That waterfront city within a city, known as Dubai Marina, is finally coming into its own after years of
seemingly endless construction work. There is still building going on — this is a never-stop boomtown
after all — but now is the best time yet to romp through this multicultural urban playground, even if
you’ve never set foot on a yacht.
Like so much of Dubai, famous for its palm tree-shaped islands and indoor ski slope, the marina is a
manmade creation that challenges preconceptions of what the Middle East looks like.
Hewn out of the desert and connected to the Arabian Gulf by channels at each end, the 3.5km (2.2-mile)
U-shaped canal would be an engineering marvel even without its skyline.
Six of the world’s 10 tallest residential buildings are clustered in one Manhattan-like corner. They include
the 101-storey Princess Tower, Dubai’s second-tallest skyscraper after the Burj Khalifa, and the arresting
Cayan Tower, which elegantly twists 90 degrees from bottom to top. An eatery-lined walkway winding
along the canal provides plenty of chances to gawk at the high-end yachts on display. Dubai Marina’s
design as an inland harbor cleverly leaves room for a full sandy beach along the Arabian Gulf shore itself.
New shops, cafes, food carts and beach lounges have transformed the palm-lined beach. Get there early
to take advantage of the public running track and workout equipment before the midday heat makes
exercise unbearable.
There’s plenty to keep little ones busy outside, like the quayside playgrounds tucked neatly underneath
bridges spanning Dubai Marina. Overheated kids can douse themselves in sidewalk fountains that send
spurts of water jumping out of the ground, then dry off while spinning on an old-fashioned merry-goround nearby.
There is also Splash Pad, a toddler water park by the beach that runs Dh60 (about $16) an hour, and a
floating playground that includes inflatable slides and trampolines for Dh50-Dh70, depending on age.
Dubai Marina is unusually well-served by public transport, especially by car-crazed Dubai standards. The
driverless, mostly-elevated Dubai Metro system makes two stops along the edge of the marina.
From there, visitors can connect via air-conditioned platforms to the Dubai Tram line that opened in
November. It loops around the marina and snakes past hotels along a coastal road, with stops that
include one connecting to a monorail that runs up the centre of the famous Palm Jumeirah island.

City-operated ferries link Dubai Marina with the charming creek area at the heart of old Dubai (Dh50 one
way). Those with a lot more cash to spend can charter a water taxi, party barge or even one of those
polished white yachts bobbing among the skyscrapers.
GCC
expenditure
on
track
for
$172
billion
projects
in
2015
Issac John (Associate Business Editor) / 1 June 2015
Dubai: Underpinned by huge cash reserves, GCC countries will continue to spend on an estimated $172
billion worth of infrastructure and capital projects planned and under way in 2015 — the highest on
record to date, Deloitte said.
“The GCC countries have the benefit of huge reserves built up as a buffer over the years, and which they
can continue to use to achieve their outlined strategies. They are expected to continue to spend on
infrastructure and capital projects in order to achieve strategies for diversification,” said Deloitte Middle
East’s newly released annual report: ‘GCC Powers of Construction 2015: Construction — the economic
barometer for the region’.
Out of the $2.8 trillion projects which are in execution and pre-execution phases across the GCC, the
forecast of $172 billion worth of projects this year is against a backdrop of lower oil prices, continuing
political unrest and reduced International Monetary Fund growth forecasts across the GCC, said Cynthia
Corby, audit partner and leader of the construction industry for the Middle East.
The Deloitte report is based on data gathered from surveys and supported by interviews with some of the
most prominent construction industry leaders from the region.
UAE’s Al Maktoum International Airport expansion, budgeted at $32 billion and billed as the biggest
airport in the world, is the first among the GCC projects by cost. The $20 billion industrial project in Abu
Dhabi for Tacaamol Al Gharbia Chemicals Industrial City is the second largest project.
“There are other sectors with several billions being planned on capital projects, with the top sector for
2015 being mixed-use and residential projects amounting to $24 billion,” said the report.
In Saudi Arabia, the largest project in pre-execution phase is the $15 billion Al Mozaini-Riyadh East Sub
Centre. The second largest project in pre-execution phase is Khozam Development in Jeddah for $13.3
billion.
There are a number of other sectors with several billions being planned on capital projects, with the top
sectors for 2015 represented by healthcare projects amounting to $19 billion, infrastructure projects
(roads and bridges) at $35 billion, and power plants at $13 billion.
46
Global Project Opportunities: July’ 2015
In Qatar, the two largest projects in pre-execution phase and expected to be awarded in 2015 are from
QRail, namely the QIRP: passenger and freight rail, budgeted at $15 billion, and from QIRP, whose
passenger and freight rail: phase 2 is budgeted at $3 billion.
This is followed by two projects, one for the new Qatar Economic Zone budgeted at $3 billion, which is
one of the three new planned economic zones mainly focusing on logistics and air freight companies
(expected to be the biggest of the three), and Occidental Petroleum Corporation — Idd e Shargi North
Dome Expansion phase 5, again budgeted for $3 billion.
Of the total $2.8 trillion projects which are in execution and pre-execution phases, 40 per cent of the
value relates to residential, leisure and hospitality buildings and mixed-use developments, totalling an
anticipated budget value of $1.1 trillion, Deloitte said.
The report said key drivers for diversification in the GCC include job creation, given that 50 per cent of
the region’s population is under the age of 25. In Saudi Arabia alone, it is forecast that four million jobs
will be needed in the next five years.
GCC population growth is forecast to grow from 350 million to 602 million by 2050, all driving the GCC
countries’ strategies to provide education, healthcare, infrastructure and support to communities. “This
growth will require energy and water: a 34 per cent increase in electricity generation capacity and a
further 2.2 billion litres desalination capacity are required by 2020.”

risen considerably however there are still significant gaps that need to be bridged.
With a view to create a platform for all the stakeholders and for the conclusive growth & development of
the Infrastructure sector, PEPC works with the Central and Foreign
Governments, National &
International development organizations like World Bank, Asian Development Bank etc, Government
Agencies, and various other stakeholders to promote the Project exports.
PEPC discusses policy, regulatory and procedural issues with its members, industry experts etc. and
advice appropriate reforms to the government for the development of the project exports. For making
conducive business environment PEPC highlights encumbrances being faced by the industry players in the
process of development of the sector and interacts with various national / international agencies for
making feasible measures to overcome those encumbrances.
PEPC supports the Government in its efforts towards projecting the project exports. It act as a reference
point for investors (Domestic & International) interested in the sector and provide information related to
government guidelines, investment opportunities, government & development agencies (which are
involved in the development process of the sector).
For promotion of the sector PEPC works proactively and suggests necessary procedures during the
process of policy formation, budgetary allocation, forming legal framework etc. by the government. To
maintain smooth progress PEPC also insist government to make essential provision for timely upgradation
of the policies on the basis of regular feedback from its members and industry players.
PEPC organizes several investment promotion programmes, conferences, seminars, workshops, etc on
regular basis for facilitating interaction between various government agencies, international bodies,
industry players and its members that provide prospects to raises issues pertaining to the sector and
exchange ideas. These networking events provide a platform to share thoughts, explore business
opportunities among the varied stakeholders of the project sector. These measures help to analyse the
present developments and identifies the ways to overcome the constraint of the sector.
PROJECT EXPORTS
Project Exports from India commenced with a modest beginning in the late 1970s. Since then, project
exports have evolved over the years, with Indian companies demonstrating capabilities and expertise
spanning a wide range of sectors. The nature of Project Exports being undertaken reflects the
technological maturity and industrial capabilities in the country. Project exports are broadly divided into
four categories:




Civil construction
Turnkey modules
Consultancy services
Supplies, primarily of capital goods and industrial manufactures
Each of the above are explained here:
Civil construction projects Construction projects involve civil works, steel structural work, erection of
utility equipment and include projects for building dams, bridges, airports, railway lines, roads and
bridges, apartments, office complexes, hospitals, hotels, and desalination plants.
Turnkey projects
74
Global Project Opportunities: July’ 2015
Turnkey projects involve supply of equipment along with related services and cover activities from the
conception stage to the commissioning of a project. Typical examples of turnkey projects are: supply,
erection and commissioning of boilers, power plants, transmission lines, sub-stations, plants for
manufacture of cement, sugar, textiles and chemicals.
Consultancy services Services contracts, involving provision of know-how, skills, personnel and training
are categorised as consultancy projects. Typical examples of services contracts are: project
implementation services, management contracts for industrial plants, hospitals, hotels, oil exploration,
charter hire of rigs and locomotives, supervision of erection of plants, CAD/ CAM solutions in software
exports, finance and accounting systems.
Supply contracts Supply contracts involve primarily export of capital goods and industrial
manufactures. Typical examples of supply contracts are: supply of stainless steel slabs and ferro-chrome
manufacturing equipments, diesel generators, pumps and compressors.
Project export contracts are generally of high value and exporters undertaking them are required to offer
competitive credit terms to be able to secure orders from foreign buyers in the face of stiff international
competition. Exim Bank plays a pivotal role in promoting and financing Indian companies in the execution
of projects. It has been closely associated with the growth of project exports from India by way of
providing finance, information and business advisory services. The bank supports Indian companies at all
stages of the project cycle from advance tender information, guidance in preparation of competitive bids
to providing financial facilities, including loans and guarantees. It extends funded and non-funded
facilities for overseas industrial turnkey projects, civil construction contracts, as well as technical and
consultancy service contracts. Exim Bank has in place a specialised cell to provide advance information to
Indian companies on projects being funded by multilateral funding agencies in various countries. Over
the past two decades, increasing number of projects have been executed by Indian companies in North
Africa, West Asia, South & South East Asia, CIS and Latin America.
Project Exports as defined in para 252-260 of Foreign Trade Policy Statement 20152020
Quote:
“Project Exports
252. Project exports are broadly defined as exports of such goods and services where the export receipts
are allowed to be staggered (in conformity with RBI guidelines) over a period of more than twelve
months. This is largely to reflect that the export transaction is not a one-off single transaction but
represents certain goods, construction and service activities, where the payment receipts are staggered
in line with the project components / execution.
253. The full value of project exports is not captured under any single aggregate classification. However,
as per data maintained by the Project Export Promotion Council, its members’ project exports orders
have increased from USD 1.7 billion in 2012-13 to USD 4.4 billion in 2013-14. This increase of 162
percent is indicative of the strong potential which exists for India to aggressively increase its world trade
market share in project exports.
254. Since project export contract earnings range over one year to five years, such export orders also
impart stability to the export earnings of the country. India’s current project export contracts are
estimated at around USD 5 billion. It is estimated that project exports from India can be boosted to at
least USD 25 billion 56 per annum within a time frame of five to seven years. The main markets for
India’s project exports are expected to be in Africa, Middle-East countries, SAARC and ASEAN countries,
Central Asian Republics in CIS. These are the emerging markets which have high infrastructure needs.
255. Such projects, while helping the recipient countries to bridge their infrastructure gaps also help
India’s exports of goods and services. They help to build a long term relationship of the target country
with India and its project export entities. India’s entry into high value project exports will also impart
high brand visibility in the target countries. Besides the specific brand visibility, India’s general branding
75
Global Project Opportunities: July’ 2015
is also promoted as a country which can export hi-tech and high value projects. Such branding and
visibility facilitates easier acceptance of other products exported by India to such markets. Long term
business relationships also develop in supplies of replaceable components and spare parts, annual
maintenance and servicing contracts, upgradation of project technology, etc. Repeat orders become
easier, as the countries gain experience and confidence in Indian project export entities. They also exhibit
India’s cost competitiveness while at the same time maintaining internationally comparable quality
standards.
256. Project exports can be boosted through opening of special lines of credit and also provision of cheap
lines of credit through buyer credit mechanism. Concessional lines of credit are generally extended
through the Ministry of External Affairs, where diplomatic considerations also matter for offering such
lines of credit. The Buyers’ Credit Scheme being offered by the Department of Commerce through Exim
Bank of India aims at enhancing Indian exports to select countries.
257. Many Indian companies in both the private and public sectors have, over the years, developed
considerable expertise in executing project export contracts in diverse areas such as railway sector,
power sector, roads and bridges, drinking water supply schemes, irrigation projects, construction of oil
and gas pipelines, construction of electricity grids, hydro power projects, airport construction etc.
258. For boosting project exports, the Department of Commerce has set up the National Export
Insurance Account (NEIA). Essentially, the Account helps to cover project export risks which cannot be
fully covered by the Export Credit Guarantee Corporation (ECGC).
259. In tandem with EXIM Bank of India and ECGC, the NEIA is also now being used to selectively offer a
Buyers’ Credit Cover for project exports. This enables EXIM Bank to offer co-financing for project exports
from India to target countries in South Asia, Africa, CIS and others.
260. While buyers credit cover has brought in major encouragement for project exports, the cost of
capital remains very high in India. An effort was made towards setting up an interest equalisation scheme
under the Market Access Initiative scheme of the Department of Commerce but it did not materialise due
to financial resource constraints. Since project export is recognized as an important element of this
policy, renewed efforts will be made to seek allocation of resources for such a scheme.”
