A few facts and figures
The building boom is also being spurred by planned government investments to expand the country's electricity network and water supplies. Just the construction element attached to power supply development is estimated at nearly $700 million.
In total, current infrastructure and public sector building programmes are valued at some $35 billion.
Performance of the building and construction sector is strongly linked to the overall volume of expected investments. The value added of the sector is anticipated to increase at an average annual rate of 6.7%, with its share in GDP thus increasing from 6.6% in 2004 to around 7.3% in 2009. This sector is important, for it is the primary base for investments in buildings, roads, water and wastewater networks, and other construction works. The plan envisages implementation of new housing models and new building techniques, as well as the emergence of competitive and specialized small and medium-size companies.
