The Egyptian construction industry's output registered a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.91% in real terms during the review period (2014-2018), mostly attributed to public and private sector investment in transport infrastructure, energy and housing construction projects, propelling an increase in demand for the Egyptian construction industry. Positive developments in economic conditions and improvement in investor confidence also provided growth momentum.
