The construction and real estate sectors have grown rapidly in recent years, owing primarily to the significant spending done leading up to the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The government invested heavily in infrastructure related to the sports event, including accommodation, stadiums, transport and logistics facilities, and tourist attractions. While sectoral investment may drop in the period immediately following the tournament, the government’s economic diversification drive is set to support infrastructure development across a wide range of sectors. Furthermore, the establishment of a regulatory authority and favourable legislation are expected to help spur sectoral growth, supported by higher levels of private investment.
