Speaking about Build Your House Exhibition 2023, Rawad Sleem, Co-Founder and General Manager of NeXTfairs for Exhibitions and Conferences, said: “We are highly appreciative and thankful for the continued patronage and support of Qatar’s Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, H E Sheikh Khalid bin Khalifa bin Abdul Aziz Al Thani. His prolonged backing is a testament to the impact that Build Your House Exhibition has managed to achieve year-upon-year towards boosting industry recovery and growth and enabling local consultants, contractors and suppliers to build homes fit for the future.”
Qatar is set to expand its residential construction and investment in infrastructure. At the same time, the country’s economic outlook is buoyant. The recent recovery of global energy prices combined with the decreased costs of projects related to the World Cup has positively impacted Qatar’s national budget. As a result, total annual revenue is estimated at QR228bn ($62.64bn), and spending at QR199bn, with a budget surplus of QR29bn. In addition, the national budget also revealed that the salaries of Qatari nationals would rise by 7 percent, increasing their purchasing power.
He added, “We’re pleased to offer an expanded edition of Build Your House Exhibition, which presents an exceptional opportunity for exhibitors to connect to a niche and fully primed market. Therefore, it’s the perfect time for local citizens to launch their homebuilding project and for exhibitors to reach a precious audience.”
