Summary
Colombia's government has announced a massive infrastructure investment programme for 2009, which should held drive the construction sector forward in the coming years, and shelter it from some of the worst effects of the global economic downturn. However, much of the investment relies on private capital, which could be difficult to come by in today's tightened financial climate. Despite this, BMI forecasts that the construction industry value will reach US$19.57bn by 2013.
For the transport sector, road and rail projects will take precedence. In October 2008, Colombia announced plans to construct a 1,800km highway connecting its Pacific coastal region with Venezuela by 2012. The project is expected to connect Colombia's most important Pacific port, Buenaventura, with economic centres - Valle Cauca and the 'coffee growers axis' - and its second-largest trading partner, Venezuela.
Meanwhile, in the power sector, the government intends to invest US$5.4bn in water and sanitation supplies (WSS) over a four-year period from 2011 to 2015, according to Business News Americas (BNamericas), which quotes an official from Colombia's national planning department. Colombia has improved its WSS supplies over the previous decade; however, more work is needed to bring it up to standard. BMI currently ranks Colombia 75th out of 164 countries in terms of its physical infrastructure.
However BMI's country risk analysts recently downgraded Colombia's real GDP growth forecasts for 2009 and 2010 to 2.1% and 3.9% (from 2.9% and 4.5%) respectively. The global economic downturn has resulted in both declining retail sales and slowing industrial growth in Colombia. This could severely hamper private investment plans in infrastructure. Meanwhile, rebel activity disrupted oil pipelines in Colombia in June 2008, suggesting security remains a problem in the country.
