Kuwait?s infrastructure sector is expected to grow by 15 to 20 per cent this year as the construction industry in the country is set to surge, reports say.

Planned developments worth an estimated US$123.6bn are expected for the Kuwaiti market with several large infrastructure projects currently in the pipeline, according to investment bank Alpen Capital. In this case, Kuwait?s construction market will outpace Qatar (US$113.8bn), Oman (US$29.6bn) and Bahrain (US$25bn) with the country coming in third in an analysis of the 100 largest construction contracts in the GCC behind the UAE and Saudi Arabia, the Oxford Business Group report added.
