Managed by the concerned authorities in the country, the large package of contracts related to the projects to be implemented during 2022 is the main axis that will enhance the growth process of the construction sector. The report indicated that the cost of completing public projects is estimated at QR 74 billion, and infrastructure projects have the priority of spending and the development of citizens' lands is the priority of spending. The report indicated that this reality that leads to the recovery of the building construction sector will continue in the coming years, coinciding with the trend of developers and real estate investors to expand their real estate investments in the coming years.
