New Construction market report from Business Monitor International: "Libya Infrastructure Report 2015"

Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 01/22/2015 --Our view that reconstruction efforts would lead to a recovery in Libya's construction industry has been delayed by a dramatic increase in security and political risks over 2014. With no central government able to plan or financing national projects or investment strategies and intermittent oil exports, we have cut our forecasts for real growth in the construction sector over 2015. We forecast that the industry will contract by 25% in 2015. Over the long-term, Libya will need major investment to rebuild and update its infrastructure.

Factors underlining our outlook for Libyan infrastructure:

- There are now two administrations operating in Libya, one in Tripoli and the other in Tobruk. Coupled with increased levels of violence, this has caused a breakdown in governance and the ability to plan and fund infrastructure projects.

- The Housing & Infrastructure Board (HIB) was tasked to deliver 200,000 new homes, with supporting infrastructure, over the next few years. It was thought that the HIB would restart the region's largest housing project, with an estimated USD100bn cost, by end-2013, although we now note that government finances will unlikely allow for even small scale implementation of the programme.

- International firms have been pulling out of Libya, or further delaying their return due to the risk of kidnapping and violence. Libya will rely heavily on international expertise, especially planning and delivery of projects, when the situation stabilises. Aecom had returned to Libya and has announced that after cancelling many Gaddafi-era contracts, around 300 projects still need to be reactivated. Combined, they have a price tag of USD30bn. It is also hoped that Aecom will establish a procurement process, which will make future project awards much less susceptible to the corruption charges placed on many previously awarded contracts.
