A Resurgent Market

Strong resurgence in the GCC’s economic growth prospects is fuelling growth of the region’s construction, remains the biggest sector by project value, and infrastructure industries, the core sectors that are demand drivers of the metal working industry in the region. Crude prices have already hit the year’s high; and the UAE, along with Oman, is set to be the fastest growing economy in the GCC region this year. Continuing infrastructure spending, stimulus packages, reforms, and growth in non-oil sector are also providing an impetus to the industry.
