Emerging opportunities and challenges facing the market
There has rarely ever been more uncertainty in the regional projects market. In 2017, just $120bn worth of contracts were awarded in the GCC, a marginal increase on the $117bn let the year before, and more than 40 per cent lower than the $177bn awarded in 2015. Are we seeing a recovery in 2018?
After three difficult years, the gulf market is finally set for recovery but many challenges remain. Join MEED experts to understand emerging opportunities and how significant the challenges and risks are in the GCC region.
Supported by data and analysis from MEED’s recently launched GCC Projects Outlook 2018 report, MEED experts discuss changing trends and contexts and examine the outlook for projects market in the region.
Given the complicated nature of the market today, the market has never required the latest projects data and analysis more than now.
