Recently released market study: Israel Infrastructure Report 2010

Recently published research from Business Monitor International, "Israel Infrastructure Report 2010", is now available at Fast Market Research
 
Jan. 11, 2010 - PRLog -- In recent years, Israel's construction industry has experienced a significant recovery, following many years of slow growth. The increased participation of the private sector, along with rising investor confidence in the county's infrastructure sector, and the growth in other sectors of the economy have all been key factors for this positive development. However, the attack to the Gaza Strip in late December 2008, in addition to Israel's heavy dependence on the US economy, may have negative implications for the country's economy and, hence, the infrastructure sector. In  BMI's  Israel Infrastructure Report 2009, we forecast 9% real growth for the construction, and by extension, infrastructure industry for 2009. Major projects are currently underway or in planning stage that will be a significant contribution to Israel's infrastructure. In addition, Israel's finance minister proposed in November 2008 a US$ 5.5bn plan to boost the economy and mitigate the effects of the global credit crisis. Spending on infrastructure is one of the main pillars of this plan. Furthermore, several major construction companies are active in the country. Among these are the  Housing and Construction group, which is Israel's largest construction player, with extensive experience in building and infrastructure projects in Israel and worldwide. The  Ashtrom Group is also one of Israel's leading private development and manufacturing companies, and is involved in a wide range of construction and related activities, both locally and overseas. Other players include  Africa- Israel Investments and  Gazit-Globe. Africa-Israel Investments is currently broadening its investments in overseas real estate, Israel's residential real estate and income-producing properties. Gazit is a leading Israeli real estate investment company focusing on the acquisition, development, management and renovation of neighbourhood and community shopping centres in high-growth areas in Israel, the US and Canada.  SGS Building is a privately-owned real estate development, construction and civil engineering enterprise while  PBC is a subsidiary of the  IDB Development Corp, and is one of Israel's largest real estate concerns. Israel ranks in third place in  BMI's Business Environment Rating for the Middle East and Africa region. However, increased war expenditure often leads to significant reductions in the budget allocated to other sectors of the economy, which, along with frequent labour shortages, may cause delays to crucial infrastructure projects. Overall, with the global financial crisis still unfolding and with the recent military attack to the Gaza Strip, our overall view for Israel must be a cautious one. For 2009, we forecast that unemployment will go slightly down to 7.2%, while real GDP growth is forecast to decrease significantly to 2.9%.
