COMMENT

 

Despite  the  slow-down  in  the  general  economy,  domestic  cement  consumption is  continued  to  grow  at  seven  percent  per  annum  in  2006.   The  steep  rise  in  the  price  implement  more  efficient  production  techniques,  to  lay  the foundations  for  the  conversion  to  alternative  fuels  and  raw  materials,  and  to  seek  constant  improvements  at  all  levels  of   operations.   The  subject  is  confidence  to  have  successfully  adapted  to  the  current  more  challenging  market  environment.

 

It  is  expected  that  the  new  Government  commitment  to  national  infrastructure  projects   will  make  a  significant  contribution  to  stimulating  sustainable  economic   growth  in the  years  to  come.
