Speaking ahead of the Big 5, Eng. Saeed Ghumran Al Remeithi, CEO of Emirates Steel commented: “The construction sector has been one of the key industries in the GCC. More than US$2.5 trillion of planned and un-awarded projects in the region, with the UAE and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia responsible for 75% of this anticipated investment, and at Emirates Steel, we are proud of our legacy of supporting and maintaining the growth of this important sector.”

“Despite that the Steel demand in MENA is expected to decline by -4.0% in 2019, we will witness an increase by 1.1% in 2020, according to recent report issued by the World Steel Organization Economic Committee.”
