Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 07/21/2014 --Although the Philippine s construction sector appears to have reached the peak of its growth cycle, we believe this should not be inferred as a negative reflection of the sector's growth potential. The country's construction sector is still expected to be the fastest growing in Asia over the medium-term (after Myanmar) as conditions that are ideal for construction activity persist. Having said that, the lack of significant progress with the government's Private-Public Partnership Programme suggests project execution risks in the country remain considerable and this is a major threat to our long-term outlook for the sector. Additionally, while the devastation stemming from Typhoon Yolanda could result in a positive short-term boost to construction activity, we note its impact on the overall construction environment in the country will likely be negative.
