According to the report, the 2016 trends are similar to 2015, with the greatest number of mega projects recorded in the Transport sector followed by Real Estate, Energy & Power and Shipping & Ports\/FILE<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

NAIROBI, Kenya, Feb 1 – Africa\u2019s mega infrastructure spending in 2016 dropped by Sh5 trillion to Sh33 trillion following tough global macroeconomic conditions resulting in lower growth forecasts.<\/strong>
\n\u00a0<\/strong>
\nThis is according to a new report by Deloitte which states that construction projects that had broken ground by 1 June 2016 – and are valued at Sh5 billion or higher – stood at 286 in 2016 compared to 301 recorded in the previous year.<\/div>\n

Of these, East Africa contributed 43 projects valued at Sh2.8 trillion, a 52 percent drop from 2015.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese construction trends reflect lower growth forecasts globally for 2016 and 2017,\u201d said,\u201d said John-Pierre Labuschagne, Infrastructure and Capital Projects Leader, Deloitte Africa, adding that the lower commodity prices over the past 24 months have acted as a drag on infrastructure spend.<\/p>\n

As a result, spending in the extractive industries, such as mining and oil and gas, has declined sharply in the last 18 months.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot surprisingly, the share of mining projects more than halved to 2.8 percent while Oil & Gas decreased to 4.5 percent,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Consequently, the delayed mining projects have impacted the tax revenue available to governments, which in turn has a knock-on effect on infrastructure spending.<\/p>\n

According to the report, the 2016 trends are similar to 2015, with the greatest number of mega projects recorded in the Transport sector followed by Real Estate, Energy & Power and Shipping & Ports. East Africa mirrored the continental data, with the Transport sector leading at 47%.<\/p>\n

There are 15 Road and Bridge projects currently underway, while Energy and Power projects accounted for just over a quarter of all projects in the region worth US$10.7billion.<\/p>\n

Of the 11 Energy and Power projects, six are renewable energy focused.<\/p>\n

The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam is the largest development in East Africa at US$4.1 billion, while the Lake Turkana Wind Power Project is the single largest private sector investment in Kenya\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suspension of the Bagamoyo Port Project (worth US$11 billion), due to austerity measures introduced in Tanzania in order to reduce the widening budget deficit, has resulted in a significant decrease in the value of ongoing projects in East Africa,\u201d said J-P.<\/p>\n

As a region, West Africa bucked the trend to record an increase in the number of projects, reporting the most projects \u2013 92 up from 72 \u2013 and recorded the most value – US$120billion.<\/p>\n

Despite the region\u2019s strong showing, South Africa was the single country with the largest number of projects – 41 – followed by Nigeria with 38.<\/p>\n

However, Southern Africa recorded 85 projects from 109 previously, valued at a cumulative $93 billion from $140 billion previously.<\/p>\n

In terms of financing the infrastructure capital developments, African Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) and China together fund nearly half of all mega projects in the region, with each funding 23.3 percent.<\/p>\n

International DFIs accounted for 18.6 percent in 2016, while Governments on the other hand own majority of the projects 86 percent.<\/p>\n

On project implementers, China is the most visible builder developing 41.9 percent of all projects in East Africa.<\/p>\n

Across the continent, Chinese interest in evident in the Energy and Power sector, where they are involved in the construction of 11 of the identified hydropower projects, while funding nine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
