“There are currently two projects approved for funding by the Algerian Government,” said Hamre. “The first project, a five-star hotel with a convention center to be built in Algiers, is expected to break ground in the spring of 2010. The approximate value of the project is $60 million. The second project, another five-star hotel and convention center, will be built in Boughazoul, Algeria. We expect to break ground on this project beginning 2011. In addition to our 10 percent ownership in NewCo, AmeraMex will be providing all heavy equipment for NewCo’s projects,” added Hamre.

NewCo will have strong relationships and expertise in all phases of commercial and infrastructure construction, which will allow the company to bid on a wide variety of complex projects, including new bridges and highways, sewage treatment facilities, office buildings, and hotels throughout Algeria and other North African countries.

After 10 years of political instability and economic stagnation in Algeria, many large-scale development projects are now underway and will begin to bring the country into the 21st century and give it a new and modern face. Approximately 10 percent of the population is employed in the construction and public works sector, which has become a significant motor for economic growth, accounting for eight percent of GDP. About 70 percent of the $145bn 2005-09 Programme for the Support of Economic Growth is allocated for housing and infrastructure. Although the construction sector is almost exclusively led by public investments, it seems likely that this will change with time. The liberalization of the Algerian market will certainly help the construction sector, as will the arrival of foreign companies.
