Colombia Construction Market Size, Trends and Forecasts by Sector - Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential Market Analysis, 2022-2026 Summary GlobalData expects Colombia’s construction industry to grow by 14% in 2022, after growing by 5.7% in 2021, and it is expected to expand at an annual average of 4.3% between 2023 and 2026, partly owing to a low base effect, coupled with the government’s effort to move away from an oil-dependent economy, which will facilitate investment in renewable energy. However, the new government’s move to halt new fossil fuel projects can hamper investment in extractive industries, which can pose a wider effect on foreign and local investment. In June 2022, the newly elected President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, called for renegotiating the US-Colombia trade agreement, since in his opinion, it has harmed Colombian farmers and manufacturers which could drive down foreign investment. In a positive development, ongoing efforts to accelerate the completion of Colombia’s fourth generation (4G) road infrastructure program and push forward with plans for its fifth generation (5G) concessions program should continue to drive the industry’s growth in the quarters ahead. Furthermore, improving external conditions has supported stronger growth, higher oil prices, and higher export growth, and consequently tax revenues and accelerated investment plans. In October 2021, Colombia's Congress approved a COP350.4 trillion ($93 billion) budget for 2022, an increase of 5.3% compared with the previous budget of COP332 trillion ($88 billion) approved for 2021. According to the budget, the country’s economy is expected to register growth of 4.3% in 2022 and a fiscal deficit of 7% of GDP in 2022. In the budget, the government allocated COP69.6 trillion ($18.9 billion) towards social spending, in an increase of 18.8% compared to the previous budget. As part of the 2022 Budget, the government plans to allocate COP49.4 trillion ($13.4 billion) towards education, COP42.6 trillion ($11.6 billion) for defense, and COP41.8 trillion ($11.4 billion) on healthcare.
