(MENAFN) Sharjah plans to award USD2.99 billion worth contracts for new pipeline projects by 2015, according to the Emirates 24/7.
Sharjah has awarded USD5.17 billion worth projects in 2012 and 2013, three times the rate of the previous two-year period to the end of 2011.
If Sharjah major contract awards reach USD2.99 billion for 2014, that would represent a 25 percent rise on major contract signings last year.
Julian Herbert, Director of Meed Projects, said: "Sharjah is just beginning to capitalize on its earlier investments in Hamriyah Free Zone and Khorfakkan. Based on economic growth and growth in the population of the UAE as a whole, this emphasis on the processing of recyclable materials and manufacturing, positions Sharjah well to grow in tandem with the UAE."
