I have taken the problem to read your link. I however form a different opinion. The demand would diminsh because of the world financial difficulties, therefore they have decided to delay $582bn, of construction activity. The affected projects would most likely be the ones that have not got off the ground yet, and are still at the drawing stage. This seems a prudent approach as if all these projects came online in the existing environment then it would lead to a glut in the market. However $500bn of construction activity is still taking place. Now how many countries are seeing that level of activity in the current environment? I doubt that people would have paid anything or are certainly not the 50% of the costs the projects that are delayed. But if you use that yardstick then all the projects in Pakistan are a fraud as they are always delayed and never delivered on the sceduled time. |
