New Construction market report from Business Monitor International: "France Infrastructure Report Q2 2011"
 
April 7, 2011 - PRLog -- BMI View: After contracting by an estimated 4.0% in 2010 and 4.4% in 2009, we forecast that France's construction market will register a return to growth in real terms amounting to 4.5% in 2011, with moderate annual real sector growth anticipated through to the end of our core forecast period in 2015 (and beyond).

After two years of contraction - which have come despite counter-cyclical spending by the French government - the construction market should grow this year. A number of factors support our more positive outlook for 2011 and beyond:

* A tentative recovery of private sector investment in construction activity, after three years of decline.
 * Close to EUR25bn worth of transport public private partnerships (PPPs) and concessions are in the final planning/tendering stages in France (excluding the La Reunion tram), and another EUR32bn worth of projects is planned to be launched between 2012 and 2020
 * The country's hosting of the UEFA Euro 2016 Football Championship will certainly provide a welcome source of new contracts for developers. France beat off competition from Italy and Turkey to win hosting status in May 2010.


Risks To Forecasts

The primary risk to a recovery beyond 2010 is a 'double-dip' recession in which an economic bounce is negated by tighter monetary and fiscal policy and/or higher commodity prices, which in turn triggers a second down turn. Indeed, the construction sector may take more time to recover than expected if abrasive economic developments seen in recent months worsen. Additionally, the effect of the bad winter may yet prove to have a more pronounced effect on construction sector activity in Q410 than we currently estimate, given that our forecast scenario was amended before the end of the year.

The main upside risk is a scenario whereby the French economy strengthens at a more rapid rate than currently anticipated by our macroeconomic team. In that case, stronger private-sector-led construction activity would help to ensure stronger positive sector growth, in real terms.

Business Environment

France's score remained static this quarter in BMI's Infrastructure Business Environment Ratings at 71.9. However, the country has gained one place in our rankings, leapfrogging the United Kingdom, thanks to a slip in the latter's score. The previous quarter, the United Kingdom had briefly overtaken France.
