As expected, after two years of double-digit growth in 2011 and 2012, a slowdown is on the cards in Ecuador's construction sector. We currently estimate real industry growth was a more modest 7.3% in 2013, and expect a rate of 6.1% in 2014. This decelerating trend is likely to continue over the medium term, as we forecast average annual growth of 4.3% between 2014 and 2018, which is lower than the hikes seen in recent years, but still strong. We believe a drop-off in government spending as a result of weakening oil revenues is likely to put the brakes on infrastructure investment. Ecuador's persistently weak business environment and prohibitive financing conditions will continue to isolate the sector from private investment.
