The president of the Portuguese Confederation of Construction and Real Estate (CPCI), Manuel Joaquim Reis, told to EFE News Agency that projections for this sector in 2015 in the country are of growth, for a positive increase of 1.5%. Urban rehabilitation projects, public works, private and foreign capital investments, are responsible for these estimates.

Part of the optimism of the CPCI and the construction industry in general comes from the “Juncker Plan” (at European level), and from the planned investment in the Strategic Plan for Transport and Infrastructure of the Portuguese government, which will help the development of new projects.
