Construction has always been the largest single sector in the GCC. Since 2006, just over $500bn worth of civil construction projects have been awarded in the six GCC states. Even more staggering is that fact that the total of planned and un-awarded construction projects exceeds $1.09 trillion, roughly two-thirds of the GCC’s entire annual GDP.

This investment is being driven by substantial population growth, particularly in the areas of the social housing, education and healthcare. At the same time, private sector real estate has now regained the confidence it lost in 2009 as house prices rise close to their historical peak and new projects launch every week.
