Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 07/28/2014 --We are maintaining our expectation that Mexico's construction industry will return to growth in 2014 following a 4.5% contraction in 2013. Persistent delays in reviving public sector investment have seen us downgrade growth for 2014 and we now forecast 3% growth for the period.

However, we remain concerned about institutional capacity and Mexico's ability to implement the programme given the poor precedent that was set during the execution of the previous plan. As such, we believe the next few months will be crucial in assessing the timeframe over which the NIP will revitalise the country's decimated construction industry and will thus refrain from revising up our five-year growth forecast for Mexico's construction sector.

Mexico's infrastructure sector has been stagnating over the past few years, and was further weakened by the lull in activity driven by public sector sluggishness in the wake of the transition of power in 2013. We expect this to turn around in H214, especially after a number of priority reforms came into law, which should allow more focus on other areas of the economy, with infrastructure likely to be a priority. Liberalising the energy and electricity sectors should allow for greater private sector investment into both.

Over the medium term we see the energy and utilities sector on track for the strongest growth, with average annual growth of 8.1% expected between 2014 and 2018. Growth is being driven by all three subsectors, including the development of pipelines bringing US natural gas to Mexico,...
