Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/16/2015 -- Saudi Arabia's infrastructure and construction sectors will offer scale and growth opportunities over our 10-year forecast period to 2024, although we note the impact on the private sector of lower oil prices.We expect government investment in affordable housing and infrastructure to remain robust, although note the government will begin moves to lessen the pressure being placed on the country's substantial fiscal buffers.

Forecast:

The drop in oil prices will drag on growth in the residential and non-residential sector, which has had a knock-on effect on our construction industry forecasts for 2016. We now see real growth in the construction sector of 6.5% y-o-y.

We expect a rationalization of fiscal expenditure over the long-term, which will see growth in the construction sector begin to slow. We do not expect the cancellation of any major projects, rather, some secondary projects or those being developed over a long timeframe will be delayed. The push back on the date for nuclear power is a prime example.

With many of the major projects under development being awarded over the past four years - the majority of which will be completed by 2018, the latter half of our 10-year forecast period will see the residential and non-residential sector overtake infrastructure as the main driver of growth.
