Research and Markets: Colombia Infrastructure Report Q3 2011: Positive Outlook for Colombian Infrastructure Sector

DUBLIN--()--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2d258c/colombia_infrastru) has announced the addition of the "Colombia Infrastructure Report Q3 2011" report to their offering.

Colombia Infrastructure Report provides industry professionals and strategists, corporate analysts, infrastructure associations, government departments and regulatory bodies with independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on Colombia's infrastructure industry.

BMI View: The revision of the entire historical data series for Columbia's construction industry value has prompted us to amend our data and our forecasts for the construction and infrastructure sectors. However, we maintain that the trends we expected to emerge in the infrastructure market will be evident - with infrastructure the stronger performer in the industry, buoyed by the ports, roads and energy & utilities sectors. The contraction that we had pencilled in for 2010 did not materialise according to the new data, although there was a marked slowdown in real growth. This could be due to the lapsing of the Colombian government's 2009 infrastructure stimulus plan.

Over the long term we maintain a positive outlook for the Colombian infrastructure sector. This is due to a number of factors:

  • An attractive business environment.
  • A government committed to high levels of infrastructure investment.
  • Several large scale projects planned, such as the Hidroituango power plant, Oleoducto Bicentenario oil pipeline and the Bogota Metro.

There has been a great deal of activity in Colombia's power and water sectors since the beginning of the year. Italy's Impreglio won a US$341mn contract to build a 400MW hydroelectric facility on the Magdalena River; local utilities operator Empresas Municipales de Cali conducted preliminary studies for a US$100mn project to expand the Caaveralejo wastewater treatment plant; and it was reported that the government will issue a tender in 2011 for the first phase of Bogota's planned US$1.1bn Canoas wastewater treatment plant.
