DEMAND FOR CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL IS HIGH
“ Strong demand from both the public and private sectors will keep Mongolia’s construction industry busy for the
foreseeable future, though the heavy calls on the building trade is stretching resources and pushing up costs.
According to a World Bank report issued in early 2013, capital expenditure in Mongolia has experienced a 35-fold increase
over the past 10 years, with the construction sector’s contribution to GDP expanding by 25.6% in 2012, mainly due to a rise
in public spending. More than 16% of all bank loans went to the construction industry in 2012, the report said, up from
11.8% the prior year, while the real estate sector’s share of lending climbed to 17.3%, higher than mining’s 14.4%. The
expectation is that demand for housing will remain high for some years to come, as citizens in lower income brackets seek
to take advantage of inexpensive loans and developers launch real estate projects aimed at the growing higher end of the
market. “ Source: oxfordbusinessgroup.com
