Your management partner in navigating the $4 trillion PPP future.
CMA is accelerating its investments to serve the rapidly growing $4 trillion PPP market in the Middle East over the next 20 years.
The Middle East is the world’s fastest growing construction market.
The Middle East is now the epicenter of global infrastructure growth, outpacing every region in scale and speed. Guided by national strategies like Saudi Vision 2030 and UAE Centennial 2071, governments are leveraging PPPs to deliver transformative projects in aviation, transport, energy, water, healthcare, education, and new cities.
With $4 trillion in planned investments over the next two decades, the region is the world’s most dynamic construction market—where public ambition meets private innovation. For investors, developers, and operators, this is a generational opportunity to shape the cities and economies of tomorrow, and CMA is partnering with the public and private sectors to deliver these projects.
Building a Sustainable Future Through PPPs
Fifty years from now, well-planned PPP projects can transform the Middle East and Gulf into a model of sustainable growth. By integrating renewable energy, green transport, efficient water systems, and resilient infrastructure, governments and private partners can ensure clean air, thriving ecosystems, and healthier cities. At the same time, investments in schools, hospitals, and inclusive urban spaces will strengthen social equity, create opportunity, and improve quality of life. Thoughtfully designed PPPs will not only drive economic growth but also safeguard the environment and deliver long-term social value, leaving future generations with stronger communities and a healthier planet.
