Key Highlights
• According to the country's national statistics agency, the Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística (DANE), the construction industry's value add at constant prices rose by 16.9%, from COP6.3 billion (US$3.3 million) in the first quarter of 2013 to COP7.3 billion (US$3.8 million) in the first quarter of 2014. In real value-add terms, the industry grew by 12.0% in 2013 – up from 6.0% in 2012, driven by government investments to improve the quality of the country's infrastructure and construct affordable homes to meet rising demand in the country.
• In December 2011, the Colombian Parliament approved a PPP law that came into force from 2012. The new law provides private investors with better guarantees, and a better institutional and legal framework that will help to improve cooperation between the private sector and government. The government believes that the new PPP law will encourage private investment in infrastructure, and accelerate infrastructure construction in the country.
• Infrastructure construction is expected to continue to expand over the forecast period, mainly driven by investments in road construction. In a bid to support the country's economy, improve the transport and reduce travel time and costs, the government plans to invest COP190.4 trillion (US$100.0 billion) in transport infrastructure by 2021. Of this, COP47.6 trillion (US$25.0 billion) will be spent on road transport infrastructure by 2021. Accordingly, with an aim to reduce travel times, the government plans to construct 8,000km of road across the country by 2021
• The residential construction market will be supported by government-led affordable housing projects. To balance supply of and demand for affordable housing in the country, the Colombian government announced in 2013 that it would fund COP1.1 trillion (US$583.0 million) to construct 100,000 social housing units across the country.
• Robust and modern transportation infrastructure is vital for growth and competitiveness of the economy. According to the Colombian pension funds association, in March 2014, four of Colombia's pension funds announced their plan to invest COP24.2 trillion (US$12.7 billion) in road infrastructure construction projects across the country by 2020. This is expected to drive growth in the infrastructure construction market over the forecast period.
