In terms of the number of projects underway, Southern Africa leads with 38% of projects, followed relatively closely by East Africa with 29%. West Africa has 21% of the total number of projects while North Africa and Central Africa lag at 7% and 5% respectively. Top sectors in African infrastructure development (rated by investment value) are Energy and Power, Transport, Mining, Real Estate and Water, followed by Oil and Gas. Of the total number of large projects under construction at 1 June 2013, 36% fall into Energy and Power and 25% in Transport, indicating that there is a solid step being taken forward in these sectors. Compared to other regions, Southern Africa has a broader sector spread in terms of construction activity. Of the 123 large projects identified in the region, 31% fall within Energy and Power, 19% in Mining, 18% in Transport and 17% in Commercial Real Estate. Of the projects, 53% are publicly owned with the balance being privately owned or owned through PPP’s Countries in East Africa differ distinctly from one another, specifically with regard to their level of infrastructure development. Kenya is further down this road than Uganda, Tanzania and Ethiopia, although Ethiopia is making some noteworthy developmental inroads. In this region, growth will be driven through making the Oil and Gas and the Energy and Power sectors work optimally. In addition, Transport projects will play a vital role while Real Estate and Water projects cannot be underestimated in terms of enabling sustainable growth. Covering critical sectors from Energy and Power to Healthcare, West Africa has a well-balanced range of infrastructure projects that have broken ground. Nigeria and Ghana are the primary infrastructure development hot spots. In North Africa, French-speaking Morocco is a primary hub of infrastructure development, particularly within the Energy and Power sector.

Compiled from Wam and staff reports 42 Global Project Opportunities: August’2014 4.0 WORLD DEVELOPEMNT NEWS ASIA ‘A milestone’ achieved to implement TAPI pipeline M. Aftab (Analysis) / 4 August 2014 The contract to lay the pipeline will be awarded within a short period of time. Chevron and ExxonMobil, the two US companies, are among the top of list of contestants for project. A milestone has just been achieved by the top leadership of Turkmenistan-Afghan-Pakistan-India, or TAPI as the long awaited gas pipeline moved a giant leap forward to implement the project on a fast track basis. The four countries, which at times, quarreled over issues like gas pricing to the transnational pipeline’s route, now seem to be in a better mind to get the project going. This is particularly important as the users, particularly Pakistan and India are hard pressed for energy in order to meet their growing demand. The four countries have signed the operational agreement, and agreed upon the key points of the salepurchase agreement of the planned 1,735-kilometre TAPI gas pipeline. The contract to lay the pipeline will be awarded within a short period of time. Chevron and ExxonMobil, the two US companies, are among the top of list of contestants for project. The winning company will arrange financing and laying of the pipeline and later operate it. TAPI will get gas from the world’s biggest gas field of Yolotan-Osman in Turkmenistan. The pipeline will move from there to Afghan cities of Herat and Kandahar, enter southern Pakistan and terminate at Fazilka on the Pakistan-India border. It will be a 56 inch diameter pipeline. The project is being particularly supported by Washington, which has, for years, opposed laying of the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline. TAPI will supply up to 33 billion cubic feet of gas. Pakistan and India will each get 42 per cent of the gas. Afghanistan will get 16 per cent. The project is estimated to cost $ 7.6 billion, according to the Operational Agreement signed at Ashgabat. The financial close of the project is expected to be done in 2015, which will be followed by start of the pipeline construction.

The project will be built at a capital cost of approximately $1.5 billion and will involve the acquisition of certain existing water and power facilities, the development, design, engineering and construction of new power and water facilities, as well as the operation of the plant. The new project is part of Abu Dhabi’s plans to add more electricity. The emirate, which generates 13849 megawatt of electricity, has plans to increase its generation in order to meet the growing needs of its fast growing population and the economy. Abu Dhabi whose power generation capacity tripled and power generation doubled in the years 20022012, has witnessed 11.3 per cent uptake in electric power consumption during 2011-2015. Located 120km from Abu Dhabi, the Mirfa project is the Emirate’s tenth facility to be built under the Public-Private Partnership model. When finished, and with the existing and new facilities fully integrated, Mirfa IWPP will have a total power capacity of 1,600 MW and a seawater desalination capacity of 52.5 MIGD. Commercial operation of the project is expected on a phased basis between 2016 and 2017. The project is targeted to satisfy Abu Dhabi’s rising demand for electricity and water as well as supporting the development of the UAE’s Northern Emirates.

During the first half of the year, there were more than 50 contracts, worth a total of more than $5.4 billion, for newly announced or recovered residential projects and a further $3.8 billion for mixed-use projects, all with strong residential elements, according to half year data produced by Meed Projects. “A clear resurgence of interest in residential projects is behind the best half year for contract awards in the buildings and transport sectors since 2008,” said Julian Herbert, Director of Meed Projects. “Civil construction projects represented 75 per cent of all awards in the UAE in the first half of the year, and 49 Global Project Opportunities: August’2014 with well over $20 billion of awards, the UAE was the GCC’s biggest market across all sectors – again, a position it has not held since 2008.” The strength of the residential projects’ sector is largely due to the recovery of the sector in Dubai, where 44 major contracts totalling $4.8 billion were awarded in the first six months of 2014. Abu Dhabi, with six projects worth a total of $500 million, was the emirate with the second highest level of residential sector awards measured by value. When smaller contracts worth less than $30 million are included, Dubai’s total of 78 awards make up three quarters of all residential building projects awarded in the UAE in the first half of 2014. Steady investment in transport infrastructure has been a feature of the UAE economy for a decade and the first half of 2014 has been no different. Over $2 billion in contracts for roads were awarded, mainly in Abu Dhabi, with awards for Dubai’s creek extension and Terminal 4 at Jebel Ali Port bringing the total to over $2.5 billion. Dubai Airports this year announced a $7.8 billion airport and airspace expansion programme which will boost capacity at Dubai International from 60 million to 90 million passengers per year by 2018. Similarly in Abu Dhabi, the Dh10.8 billion Midfield Terminal Building project — a 700,000 sqm site with what is set to be the world’s largest baggage system — remains on schedule to open by July 2017. According to a recent report by consultancy Ventures Middle East, “Exploring UAE’s Strong Investment Environment”, the new projects, combined with many previously stalled projects now forging ahead, will continue to bolster the 2013 upswing into 2014. The report sets the value of the country’s building construction sector at almost 60 per cent of the total projects in the construction industry, followed by infrastructure, oil and gas, and power and water, with total construction projects awarded in the UAE totalling $38 billion in 2013. The total for 2014 is expected to reach $46 billion in awarded projects in the country. The top six contractors measured by value of contracts awarded in the first six months of 2014, all netted over $500 million worth of contracts. Arabian Construction Company (ACC) and Arabtec topped the ranking, with over $1 billion each. Eight of the top 10 and 17 of the top 20 contractors are either local contractors or UAE-headquartered joint ventures. Damac Properties, whose recent developments include the 42 million sqft master development, AKOYA by Damac and the four-tower Damac Towers by Paramount project in the Burj Area, is bullish about the upswing in the market. “The outlook for the real estate sector in the UAE and Dubai is positive, and this is mainly due to the strong economic growth experienced since 2012. Dubai in particular has continued to witness solid economic recovery and this is reflected on the real estate sector. Strong predicted growth of 4.5 per cent this year will sustain demand for residential property; this explains the continuous solid levels of demand in the market, which is reflected in the growth in rental levels and residential values on the short and medium terms,” said Ziad El Chaar, managing director of Damac Properties. The region’s leading international building and construction showcase, The Big 5, will demonstrate this renewed industry confidence with its largest event yet. The Big 5 2013 attracted a record number of visitors. Andy White, group event director, said 98 per cent were planning to return this year. Combined with new exhibitors from across the world, this year’s event would be the largest and best attended in its 35-year history, White said.

As the second largest market on the continent after South Africa, Nigeria is a massive player in Africa’s growth story. Its telecommunications infrastructure, which provides 100% coverage, is opening up opportunity as systems are piggybacked thereon to offer services such as money transfers. Years of hard work and consistent investment in this sector will continue to raise Nigeria’s competitiveness globally. There is also significant railway construction and rehabilitation taking place in the country. West African development includes Nigeria’s offshore Egina oilfield and Nigerian Oil Refinery Project, its Forcados-Yokri Project and Southern Swamp Associated Gas Gathering Project, hydropower plant development and Bonny Gas LNG Vessels Financing 2013. Public Private Partnerships are gaining in prominence as a funding tool in West Africa, particularly in Nigeria and Ghana. Regional PPP projects include the Accugas Nightingale Pipeline Expansion Project in Nigeria and the Cape Verde Wind Farm Project. Interestingly though private investment is on the rise. In Nigeria for example, the Dangote Cement Group has emerged as a significant African investor in the construction industry with a number of cement plants being built across the continent. In terms of construction work, there is also a trend towards non-African players such as the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation, China Road and Bridge Corporation and the Odebrecht Group from Brazil driving construction momentum. 58 Global Project Opportunities: August’2014 9.0 PROJECT CONSTRUCTION ITEMS : OVERSEAS INQUIRIES Bathroom Fittings & Accessories Enter-American Importers of bathroom accessory.

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, 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: August’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. 75 Global Project Opportunities: August’2014 12.0 EXPORT PROMOTION SCHEMES (FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE) MARKET DEVEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE Under this scheme assistance is given to individual exporters for participation in following export promotion activities abroad Trade Delegations BSMs Trade Fairs/Exhibitions The details of scheme is given as ANNEXURE-I.
