The Middle East attracts keen attention from the global building & construction industry with large-scale development projects
According to reliable sources, the Gulf region, including United Arab Emirates, remains a strategically important area of the world with over 65% of the world’s oil reserves. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) - the main trading bloc in the region - comprises Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar.
There are large-scale developments encompassing Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria, etc. to house the increasing population along with substantial investments going into infrastructure. And also, it was noted that all the areas, including Iran and the Indian sub-continent, have enormous commercial potential, so currently there is increasingly brisk trading with the GCC states.
Given the fact that there are increasing trading opportunities in the region with the continuing integration of countries within the GCC, all participating businesses are expected to seize the excellent opportunities to further bolster their business presence in the region.
South Korean construction firms preparing for the Middle East region’s restoration project
South Korean construction businesses are getting ready to jump into an estimated $120 billion worth reconstruction project in Libya.
Daewoo E&C, which participated in six earlier projects in Libya, will dispatch a working group for establishing measures for the post-Libyan war era, including gathering all kinds of information on the country and construction sites run by Daewoo E&C.
Hyundai E&C, currently conducting a $2.63 billion power plant construction project in Al-Khalij, also plans to return to the site as soon as the political unrest dies down.
Won Construction, which is heading a large-scale housing project to build around 7,000 homes in places like Darnah, has already begun its initiative of dispatching few working members to the location, according to Korea’s Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs (MLTM). Participating in the construction of a $270 billion thermal power plant, Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction also has a plan to send working-level officials to related local facilities when safety is ensured.
In line with the private sector’s moves, the Korean government is also taking action to provide support for Korean businesses operating in Libya to return to their construction sites and help Libya’s restoration projects in the post-Gaddafi era.
