D. Construction
The construction sector is yet another segment of the economy that is performing well. The mega construction projects initiated by the Government in Por ts, Airpor ts, Highways etc; development of other sectors such as Tourism; Reconstruction of Nor th and East; Expansion of the Housing and Real Estate sector have all contributed to the growth of the Construction Sector. However, as most of the construction projects are under taken directly by the Government with foreign contractors, the scope for private sector involvement in these and development of local capacit y is restricted. The prevailing construction boom in the countr y is an ideal oppor tunit y to develop local capacit y. The session will consist of a keynote address on the Masterplan for development of Colombo Cit y and it will be followed by a panel discussion where several private sector contractors are expected to air their views on how to take for ward the sector.
