08:00 – Quantitative and qu<strong>al</strong>itative data on the Qatar & GCC Project Market<br />
A comprehensive forecast and assessment of the projects market in the region<br />
The GCC projects market has struggled so far in 2012 after a pick-up in activity in Qatar and the UAE is<br />
not enough to offset a slowdown in Saudi Arabia, the region’s largest projects market.<br />
Just $55bn worth of projects were awarded in the GCC in the first h<strong>al</strong>f of the year, some 10 per cent<br />
lower than the equiv<strong>al</strong>ent period in 2011, and the worst performance over<strong>al</strong>l since 2005. The<br />
comparatively weak performance means that the market will struggle to match the $130bn worth of<br />
contracts awarded in 2011, which itself was <strong>al</strong>so the lowest annu<strong>al</strong> tot<strong>al</strong> since 2005.<br />
