The Middle East is experiencing a huge construction boom, but with a shortage of raw materials and increasing fuel prices this is under threat. Cement and concrete have seen the biggest price fluctuations amongst all the key building raw materials, leading to delayed projects and in some instances cancellation. Currently the pace of demand is far outstripping supply but with the present US$ 6.7 bn investment programme, capacities will more than double to approximately 106 million tonnes a year (t/y) by 2010. Some 29 schemes are planned or under way in the biggest wave of new capacity ever seen in the region.

At this conference you will discuss the critical issues with the regions most prominent experts and will identify the upcoming opportunities relevant to your business.
