The strong economic expansion in the region reflects government
policies that favor home ownership as well as public spending in the
lead-up to elections in Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Puerto Rico
Significant infrastructure rebuilding investment still expected in Colombia and other countries
In Panama, the infrastructure sector is the main contributor to cement
consumption driven by new projects, such as the construction of
hydroelectric plants in the Chiriquí province
South America & Caribbean Region
23
Northern Europe, Mediterranean and Asia Region
Residential sector is driving volume growth in Germany & France
Debt crisis & fiscal adjustment will reduce infrastructure spending
Continued strength of the infrastructure sector
Private recovery still weak
In Spain, the decline in domestic cement volumes continues to be partially mitigated by exports to other countries
Despite political situation in Egypt, our distribution of cement has continued uninterrupted since the beginning of the year
Fundamentals remain strong despite current political environment
