SWOT Analysis of Infrastructure industry
Strength & Opportunities
The construction industry now a day move away from residential and
commercial construction towards infrastructure projects as a result of the
global financial crisis.
In the 2011-12 Qatar budget, infrastructure is the lead sector with 34 per
cent of total investments allocated to infrastructure upgrades. In five year
development plans Qatar also points to high amount of spending for
infrastructure in medium term. The recent announcement stats that Qatar is to
host FIFA 2022 World Cup has stimulated private and public infrastructure
and industrial projects to the value of more than US $140 billion.
Qatar is one of the rich countries in the world and fastest growing economies
in the Middle East. The growth in the economy is because of its large
production of oil, liquefied natural gas and condensates, supported by
increases in hydrocarbon prices.
Possible weakness and threat
Qatar‘s Government revenue is largely depended on oil and gas leaves
growth.so, export and revenue of government vulnerable to shift in world
price.
That may cause the cut down volume of government budget and possible
allocation to infrastructure sector.
Qatar is currently depends on immigrant labour that cause outflow of
remittances are high.
Though Qatar‘s dependence on immigrant labour and outflow of remittances
are high, Qatar‘s current account remains firmly in surplus.
Oil-fuelled asset price booms may cause an upside risk to inflation.
