1 Economic Forecast of the Construction Sector March 2018

2 Economic Forecast of the Construction Sector Page 2/8 Introduction This economic forecast of the construction sector focuses on 2018 and The Danish economy is in a phase of stable recovery, which has an upwards effect of housing prices. This, in turn, causes a surge in new housing construction as well as repair and maintenance hereof. Accordingly, The Danish Construction Association expect the construction employment to rise to a level of nearly employed in In the civil engineering industry, the decreasing activity is largely due to lower investments in the infrastructure of roads. The forecast in brief The Danish economy is in a phase of stable recovery with a broad based growth in GDP. In 2017, the real GDP growth surpassed 2 % and we expect it will likewise exceed 2 % in Notably, the growth in GDP has multiple drivers, namely private consumption, exports and investments the latter particularly housing investments. As the economic circumstances improves, the level of employment steadily rises. However, record high employment levels are also the result of labour market reforms, which have expanded the labour workforce. Additionally, Table 1: Supply and demand balance the labour market is in risk of mismatch issues and shortage of qualified labour. The economy is expanding and thus driving house prices higher.the development in housing prices increases new construction as it becomes more attractive in relation to the existing dwellings as well as increasing home equity, which affects the repair and maintenance market positively. The increase in new dwellings is primarily due to the improvement of the housing market. We expect construction of new dwellings in 2017 increasing to in The risk of housing bubble is looming although the consensus is that the market bases itself on the macroeconomic fundamentals. The improvement in the housing market affects the market for repair and maintenance positively and it will continue to do so in the coming years. High levels of public housing renovations stimulated the activity in the previous years, but we expect it to normalize in the forecasting period. We expect that the commercial and private sectors drive the repair and maintenance market in the coming years as the public housing renovation activities normalizes E 2019 E bn. kr.

3 Economic Forecast of the Construction Sector Page 3/8 We expect the civil engineering activity to stagnate at the current level. The major civil engineering projects are entering their final stages. In the long term, we expect that the commencing of the Fehmarn Belt tunnel from 2020 and onwards will increase the activity from the current level. Employment We expect the employment in the construction sector to increase by approximately in 2018, adding up to a level of employed workers, white collars and master craftsmen in the industry. Table 3 shows the employment divided into main areas. The employment in the construction industry increased by more than employees from the bottom in 2013, compared to the current situation. The major driver is the market for new construction, which we expect to increase by persons employed towards The increase in employment in the repair and maintenance industry is more moderate with a rise by workers by the end of Figure 1: Employment in the construction sector (thousand employed) Employment, total Average Development in the construction sector The housing market The housing market has been the main driver in the construction industry in the last couple of years. The housing prices in the large cities have risen in the beginning, but the increase in prices has made it more attractive to move out of the cities and thereby increasing the prices in the rest of the country. The price increases is mainly driven by urbanization both from the rural districts to the regional centers and from the regionals cities to the capital and other large cities. It is expected that growth rate in housing prices is in the range of 3-4 % annually which is supported by increase in employment, real income and the continued low interest rate environment although the interest rates are expected to rise slowly in the following years. It is the Danish Construction Associations evaluation that the price development in Copenhagen as well as the larger cities is still based on fundamentals. In general, the main

4 Economic Forecast of the Construction Sector side 4/8 reason for home ownership is still to live in it and not as a speculative investment, which is supported by the expectation of lower increases in the housing prices in the years to come. There are multiple risks in the housing market among them the widespread financing of homes by flexible interest rates. This is mainly a concern if the interest rates increases more than expected. Another risk is that the housing prices in the larger cities are pushed up by speculative acquisitions, e.g. from individuals who buy project sales for resale. This would be the case where the price movement is based on speculation rather than fundamentals. On the presence of these risks the European Central Bank and the Danish central bank has raised the warning flag about the risk of a future housing bubble in parts of the market especially in Copenhagen. The housing tax agreement from May 2017 contains a permanent tax deduction for the homeowners who purchase homes before This agreement can induce potential homeowners to accelerate their purchases. This could drive prices higher towards 2021 and it is expected that the effect is larger where the tax deduction is substantial. On the other hand, the decision in the above mentioned agreement, to cease the nominal tax freeze in the property will have a stabilizing effect on the housing market. Residential construction There have been significant increases in housing construction since We expect commenced buildings in 2017 increasing to in 2018 and in The progress in the new construction is mainly driven by the increase in house prices especially in the larger cities. This is the reason that multi-dwelling houses are booming in 2017 and continues to be in 2018 and We expect an increase in both detached and terraced houses as the house prices increase in the rest of the country. In the major cities construction of public housing increases because of the demographical demand caused by urbanization. The municipalities part of the financing is at a level of ten percent that is set to rise to 14 percent in 2019, which is the normal level. This is a probably a major factor in the high level of commenced public housing in The number of commenced dwellings has been adjusted substantially upwards since the latest forecast from October The adjustment relates primarily to 2016 and the rest of the forecasting period. The adjustment is caused by a methodical change relating to the data suppliers. We use the new data - although carefully - in presence of the associated uncertainty regarding the underlying trends. Commercial construction The commercial construction is recovering in Denmark. The improved economic conditions helps and the occupation rates are increasing as the number of vacancies are dropping. Commercial construction consists mainly of 1) factories and workshops, 2) administration, commerce and tourism and 3) agriculture. For factories and workshops, we expect an increase in new construction from 0.35 million square meters in 2017 to 0.39 million square meters in This is based on the increase in production and sales in the industrial sector. The vacancy of warehouse and production facilities also dropped from four per cent to two per cent in the last couple of years. For administration, commerce and warehouses we estimate an increase from 0.83 million square meters in 2017 to 0.93 million square meters in This is mainly because of the vacancy rate dropped from around ten percent

5 Economic Forecast of the Construction Sector side 5/8 in 2014 to seven percent in 2018 and the increase in rent on commercial buildings for administration. For agriculture, we expect an increase from 0.82 million square meters in 2017 to 1.1 million square meters in The main cause is the consolidation in the sector. Risks are credit tightening, increased environmental regulation and increased likelihood of protectionism. Construction of public institutions After the administrative structural reform of regions and municipalities in 2007, resources were prioritized to finance 16 so-called super hospitals in the following years. Some of the hospitals were repairs on existing ones, while others was or are going to be new buildings. This project is culminating at the moment and is a large component of the newly constructed public institutions. The construction of new teaching facilities across the country is an important factor as well. Repair and maintenance The market for repair and maintenance is closely aligned with the development in the housing market. An increasing number of home sales in 2017 will have an effect on the repairs and renovations in 2018 as most of the renovation projects are being carried out, when buying a home. The rising house prices leads to large amounts of equity that the homeowners can use to repair and renovate their houses. The housing prices rises in all regions of the country, which together with low yields has created the large home equity. A majority in the Parliament has made the deduction for energy renovations and services - also known as håndværkerfradraget - permanent in It is positive, although the effect on undeclared work is smaller in the preexisting focused deduction scheme compared to the former more unlimited deduction scheme. The market for repair and maintenance was stimulated by the large activity in social housing construction in the last couple of years. The activity peaked in 2015 and the activity has had a sharp reduction in 2017 that we estimate to continue towards The commercial sector is improving as the general economy improves. The number of vacant office buildings is declining and we expect that the increasing scarcity of usable offices will have a positive effect on the repair and maintenance sector. We expect an increase of activity of 2.9 % in 2018 and 3.3 % in 2019 in the market for repair and maintenance. Civil engineering The civil engineering industry was in a severe downturn after the crisis in In the years after, the activity has been moderately increasing. In the short and medium term, the activity in the industry is declining. We expect that the civil engineering activity rises in the long run when the work on the Fehmarn Belt tunnel is expected to commence around The civil engineering activity shows a temporary increase in 2018 due to a few large energy infrastructure investments such as offshore windmill farms and transnational power cables. The construction of a new circular Metro line in Copenhagen is in good progress. The drilling part of the City ring is over, and it is expected that the tracks will be finished in the first half of 2018.
