EMEA >Africa> 9 > The Outlook – From the Media and Industry Outlook “The unexpected slow start to the economy, weakened by the relentless labour strike action in the platinum industry and a contraction in the manufacturing sector, raises fears that government will not be able to deliver on its infrastructure expenditure programmes as was projected in the 2014/15 Budget in February 2014.” Engineering News – Quarter 2, 2014 “In emerging economies there has been a tightening of monetary and financial conditions since May 2013. This is due to issues such as spill over from rising bond rates, and improved prospects in advanced economies. Other factors include reassessment of medium-term growth prospects and greater investor concerns about vulnerabilities.” SA Forum of Civil Engineering Contractors Report 2nd Quarter 2014 - State of the South African Civil Industry
