FOCUS
The Mena region is experiencing a rail boom. From Africa's first high-speed rail network in Morocco to
Oman's first ever rail scheme, billions of dollars are being invested in rail and metro projects for the first
time. In total there are more than $200bn worth rail and metro projects either planned or under
way in the Middle East. This translates to more than 33,700km of mainline routes and 3,000km of
metro.
Qatar, Egypt and the UAE are the next largest future markets. The latter has the Abu Dhabi metro and
the second phase of the Etihad Rail schemes as well as the extensions of the Dubai metro.In Qatar, there
are still several contracts to be awarded on the Doha metro in addition to the main packages on the longdistance passenger and freight networks. And in Egypt, there are long-held plans to develop lines 4-6 of
the Cairo metro together with high-speed networks from the north to the south of the country.
The UAE’s construction market is predicted to return to near full capacity with a number of megaprojects
in the pipeline and the ramping up of social infrastructure spend,

The figures were released as Bahrain steps up preparations for the annual GCC Construction Conference
in October, a report in the Gulf Daily News said.
Labour Minister Jameel Humaidan yesterday met Bahrain Contractors’ Society honorary president Isa
Mohammed Abdulrahim and chairman Ali Abdulla Marhoon to discuss preparations for the event.
Bahrain and GCC contractors will have opportunity to discuss construction potential in the Gulf, in
addition to challenges and difficulties curbing the sector. – Trade Arabia News Service
Construction projects worth $212bn under way in UAE
Dubai, 3 days ago (18-08-2014)
The volume of announced and planned projects in the UAE in 2014 is expected to be worth $315 billion,
and as of May 2014, $212 billion worth of construction projects were under construction, a new report
said.
The UAE’s construction market is expected to return to near full capacity with a number of megaprojects
in the pipeline and the ramping up of social infrastructure spend, according to the EC Harris’ 2014
International Focus on the UAE report.
According to EC Harris’ Construction Cost Index, construction prices in the UAE are set to rise by 4 to 5
percent over the duration of the year and approximately 6 percent in 2015.
“The UAE has experienced a shifting momentum of activity over the past decade with 2009 onwards
being difficult years for the market. The dynamic has changed from a period of negative to low inflation
over the last few years to a period of moderate increase,” said Christopher Seymour, partner and head of
property and social infrastructure at EC Harris.
"The market is finally showing real signs of recovery and prospective growth suggesting that the
construction market will remain strong this year," he said.
The report takes into account the UAE’s estimated real gross domestic product (GDP) growth, accelerated
momentum across industry sectors, market conditions and construction tender price levels.
The report highlights key discrepancies between the emirate of Abu Dhabi and Dubai as both cities are

the country’s growth drivers. Dubai’s real estate market is stronger and more sustainable whilst Abu
Dhabi’s market is steady. However, the report states the capital may increase construction spend in the
latter half of 2014 and early 2015.
Seymour said: “We are seeing tenders in the market covering the full range of projects including large
scale programmes and also smaller schemes right down to the small fit out work. To this extent, the
market is showing a healthy profile with opportunities for SME and large international contractors and
joint ventures. Similarly, the supply chain at all levels is seeing strong growth across the range of
schemes.” – Trade Arabia News Service

Dubai Investments boosts construction material portfolio
(Wam) / 25 August 2014
This comes in the wake of winning significant orders and project for 18 of its subsidiaries
involved in the manufacturing of building materials and construction products.
Dubai Investments, a leading investment company in the UAE, has reinforced the production capabilities
of its subsidiaries dealing in building materials amidst accelerating trends in the real estate and
construction sector across the UAE and the region.
This comes in the wake of winning significant orders and project for 18 of its subsidiaries involved in the
manufacturing of building materials and construction products.
Dubai Investments subsidiaries such as Glass LLC, Emirates Building Systems and Dubai Cranes have
reported a number of new projects across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, among others.
Notable projects won by Dubai Investments subsidiaries include glass orders for Dubai Design, Habtoor
Hotel, Masdar office building in Dubai; Credit Lebanese HQ in Beirut; steel structures for Riyadh Public
Transport; three petrochemical projects for Saudi Aramco; end-to-end steel building solutions for 2022
Fifa World Cup stadiums in Qatar; and petrochemical projects in Oman; as well as residential and airport
developments in the UAE and standard, overhead crane kits for ongoing projects with Emirates
Aluminium, Dubai Aluminium and the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority.
Construction activity across the UAE has witnessed a major upswing this year, with projects worth $46
billion awarded in 2014 alone, a significant rise from $38 billion last year. A vast majority of these
contracts are in the residential sector, and the uptrend in the construction sector is set to boost the
country’s gross domestic product for 2014 by four per cent to approximately $404 billion, up from $390
billion in 2013.
Abdulaziz bin Yagub Al Serkal, general manager of Dubai Investments, said: “2014 has been a
momentous year for Dubai Investments’ business growth in the real estate and construction sector. The
construction industry has always been a key source in driving growth for the UAE’s economy and the
current upswing, especially in residential projects, has led to unprecedented demand for quality building
materials and innovations — which offers us a huge growth opportunity.”
He added: “High demand as a result of the construction boom in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and
across the Middle East is also placing added demand on the capacities of our companies dealing in
building materials.”
In line with this, some of the Dubai Investments subsidiaries have bolstered their production capacities.
Emirates Building Systems has announced major expansion plans in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, Emirates
Extruded Polystyrene has also announced plans to double its production capacity in the coming two years
to approximately 2.4 million sqm per year, and Dubai Cranes and Technical Services recently announced
opened the first-of-its-kind crane storage and assembly facility in the region to cater to the heightened
demand for cranes across the GCC and Mena region.

COUNTRY PROFILE:KENYA
Republic of Kenya, is a country in the African Great Lakes region of East Africa. Its capital and largest
city isNairobi. Kenya lies on the equator with the Indian Ocean to the south-east,Tanzania to the
south, Uganda to the west, South Sudan to the north-west,Ethiopia to the north and Somalia to the
north-east. Kenya covers 581,309 km2(224,445 sq mi) and has a population of approximately 44 million
as of July 2012.[7]
Kenya has a warm, humid climate along its Indian Ocean coastline, with wildlife-rich savannah grasslands
inland towards the capital. Nairobi has a cool climate which becomes colder closer to Mount Kenya, which
has three permanently snow-capped peaks. Further inland, there is a warm and humid climate around
Lake Victoria, and temperate forested and hilly areas in the western region. The northeastern regions
along
the
border
with
Somalia
and
Ethiopia
are
arid
and
semi-arid
areas
with
near-
desert landscapes. Lake Victoria, the world'ssecond largest fresh-water lake and the largest tropical lake,
is situated to the southwest and is shared with Uganda and Tanzania. Kenya, along with Uganda
and Tanzania is famous for its safaris and diverse wildlife reserves and national parks such as
the East and West Tsavo National Park, the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru National Park, and Aberdares
National Park. There are several world heritage sites, such as Lamu; there are also many world renowned
beaches, such as Kilifi, where international yachting competitions are held each year.
The Republic of Kenya obtained independence in December 1963. Following a referendum in August 2010
and adoption of a new constitution, Kenya is now divided into 47 semi-autonomous counties, governed
by elected governors.
The capital, Nairobi, is a regional commercial hub. The economy of Kenya is the largest by GDP in
Southeast and Central Africa.[9][10] Agriculture is a major employer; the country traditionally exports tea
and coffee and has more recently begun to export fresh flowers to Europe. The service industry is also a
major economic driver. Kenya is a member of the East African Community. Compared to other African
countries, Kenya enjoys relatively high political and social stability.
Kenya is characterised by a significant roadworks programme financed by the African Development
Bank, China, Brazil and Japan.
A portion of infrastructure development is designed to connect Kenya to its neighbouring countries,
simultaneously helping to operationalise the East African Community. For example the LAPSSET (Lamu
Port Southern Sudan – Ethiopia Transport) project aims to connect Kenya, South Sudan and Ethiopia.
Nairobi is also experiencing significant commercial, retail and residential apartment construction and
numerous hotel developments.

PROJECT EXPORTS PROMOTION COUNCIL OF INDIA (PEPC)
India is a country with large and diverse infrastructure sector. The Government of India recognized the
imperative need for the infrastructure sector and takes several initiatives like Committee of
Infrastructure, National Highway Development Project (NHDP), National Maritime Development
Programme (NMDP), Tax Holidays etc for the development and promotion of the sector. In the recent
years, there has been several improvements in sectors like roads & highways, ports, railways and
airports, the policy and regulatory framework is already in place and investment in infrastructure has
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,

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
61
Global Project Opportunities: September’2014
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.
