Construction Projects in Africa
To meet the requirements of a growing population, many governments in Africa are focusing on developing infrastructure. As a result, construction became the largest sector in Africa. As per ABiQ, there are active construction projects in Africa worth over $760 billion. Energy has projects worth over $370 billion, followed by Transport projects.
Economic activity in the entire world was constrained in 2020 by an unprecedented global pandemic, and Africa was no exception. However, projections indicate that Africa will recover in 2021. Real GDP will grow by 3.4% in 2021, after contracting by 2.1% in 2020. The project market in Africa is booming with opportunities but finding and accessing reliable and validated data has been a problem for a long time. As per ABiQ’s unique business intelligence platform, there are business opportunities and projects worth over $2 trillion in Africa.
With ongoing and upcoming projects worth over $2 trillion, Africa will recover in 2021. The focus will be on diversifying economies, PPP projects, and developing new infrastructure to meet the needs of a fast-growing population.
