What This Means for You

• Like most of the developed world, Europe will also be hit with the steepest decline in construction spend in at least 20 years

• The financial crisis has hit Western Europe hard, in part due tobanks’ high leverage and exposure to Eastern Europe

• Fiscal stimulus, together with financial rescue from the IMF, will gradually ease the credit crunch and improve the construction outlook

• Bottom Line: The European construction market is unlikely to recover before 2011, and recovery in the medium-term will lag the rest of the world

Sources of Infrastructure Growth

In Western Europe

•Country-specific stimulus packages

•Large transport programs co-funded by EC in the context of the development of the trans-European transport network (TEN-T)

•City traffic de-congestion a priority for most countries

•Environmental concerns push investment in energy, railways and urban transport

•London Olympics in 2012 — program focuses on rail systems


Western European

Stimulus Packages

• Slower recoveries in Europe are in part a function of less-aggressive stimulus policies

But Eastern Europe Still Facing

Challenges in the Near-Term

• Main export markets are in recession

• Tight credit conditions threaten domestic demand which has been driven by credit expansion based largely on foreign borrowing

• Business and consumer confidence has eroded

• Lower oil prices inflict even more pain

Special Focus: Russia

• Declines in commodity prices will hurt export income, a key driver of consumer and business spending

• Oil exports are declining due to capacity limits and rising domestic needs

• Expansionary monetary policies have fueled inflation

• The global financial crisis has exacerbated the stock market correction, international capital flight, and the ruble’s collapse

Implications For Your Business

• This is the worst year, and worst outlook, for the European construction market in two decades

• While fiscal stimulus and support from the IMF has certainly improved the infrastructure construction outlook in particular, growth in the European construction markets will not return to the levels enjoyed a few years ago

• Eastern Europe, although more risky, is expected to rebound more quickly than Western Europe
