The projects market is forecast to further its growth, evidenced by the rearrangement that some government customers made on capital investment plans, according to projects industry official overseeing the matter.
Due to the forecast, following the market initial concern regarding major cutbacks in government spending on projects, the need for equipment and skills is set increase, testing thus the abilities of the supply chain.
