Today, the sector stands out globally for its ability to execute projects to international standards, on time, and at a reasonable cost, as well as for its operational experience in challenging and high-risk regions and its relationship-building skills. Overseas contracting services are significant in terms of their contribution to the economy through foreign exchange inflows, exports, employment, and the sector’s competitive strength.
