COMMENT

 

Slow  growth  of  the  construction  industry in  domestic  market  has   seen  since  the  beginning  of  the  year  especially  from  the  private  sector.  There  are   factors  that  lead to  declining  like higher  fuel  price, increase  utility,  strong inflation,  higher labor  cost  as well  as  higher  cost  of  construction  materials.

 

However,  the  subject  would  be  able  to maintain  its  growth  in  domestic  market,  while  exports  markets   have  strong  sales  due  to  demand  of  particle  board   and panel  in  internationals  markets  remain   healthy  and  expanding  steadily.
