Will Asia construction survive rising construction costs?
The construction sector has seen a surge in activity following the gradual fading in Covid restrictions across different countries. However, the Russia-Ukraine conflict and continued lockdowns in China have further exacerbated supply chain constraints and increasing construction costs. In this webinar we will discuss the outlook for construction activity in Asia including the risks and implications of increasing construction costs.
Talking points:
- Fiscal policy has been vital for economic recovery. What has been the policy response and how is it materialising for construction?
- Residential construction activity has remained resilient. What’s driving it and how long will it last for? What can we expect from raw material costs over the next 6-12 months?
- The pandemic has seen some clear winners and losers across non-residential building. The surge in demand for e-commerce and semi-conductors has propped up warehousing and manufacturing, while hospitality sectors have suffered declines over the pandemic. What is the expected trajectory for these sectors?
Note: Please note that we will be holding one webinar each for APAC, EMEA, and Americas friendly time zones. Can’t make it to any of the sessions? Feel free to register for any session and we will automatically share the recording with you 3 hours after the webinar has finished.
