PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BBCA) : Company Profile and SWOT Analysis

Synopsis
In real terms, the Hungarian construction industry posted positive growth during the review period (2011-2015). Construction activity was weak in 2012, as the economy was hit by a recession. Consequently, limited business confidence adversely affected investments. The industry subsequently recovered, driven by an improvement in economic conditions and new investments in construction projects.

Over the forecast period (2016-2020), the industry is expected to expand at a slow pace. Improvements in investor and consumer confidence will drive funds into infrastructure, energy and utilities, and commercial construction projects. Government initiatives such as the Integrated Transport Development Operational Program (ITOP), Environment and Energy Efficiency Operational Program (EEEOP), National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP) and Family Housing Allowance Program (CSOK) will support industry growth

Government efforts to improve transport infrastructure and develop regional connectivity will support the industrys growth over the forecast period. Plans to increase the nations energy production are also expected to support funding in energy infrastructure projects.

The industrys output value in real terms increased at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.55% during the review period, and is expected to post a CAGR of 2.74% over the forecast period.
