LATEST ASIA CONSTRUCTION SERVICE REPORT

South-east Asia construction in the trade war firing line (Q3 2019)

We have recently published our latest Asia Construction Service research briefing examining the outlook for the construction, real estate and infrastructure sectors across Asia.

We explore prospects for these sectors against the backdrop of the intensified US-China trade conflict. Trade wars generally produce no winners, and with businesses increasingly reluctant to invest, construction activity in Asia is at risk of becoming collateral damage. But our analysis shows that the impact across sectors and countries will vary widely; indeed, some will see a boost, as manufacturing activity is diverted from China.

Our in-depth analysis maps out the winners and losers and what this means for firms and investors. We also chart how many of Asia’s governments are ramping up infrastructure investment and the implications of this key trend.
