| Total construction spending is expected to be 2% lower in 2010 than 2009. While not good, it is an improvement from the nearly 7% decline of the prior year. With economists talking about a double-dip recession, there are lingering doubts as to whether this economic roller coaster ride is over. How long will it take the construction industry to return to its peak of US$6 trillion spent in 2007? Please join us on 29 September 2010, as we present our seventh annual view of the world's construction markets. Session 1 WORLD CONSTRUCTION OUTLOOK 10:00 a.m. – 10:50 a.m. (E.T.), 3:00 p.m. – 3:50 p.m. (G.M.T.) The recent financial market turmoil has raised the risks of another downturn. The euro crisis and attempts by the Chinese government to deflate the real estate bubble have only increased the anxiety about a global double-dip outcome. How will this affect global construction markets? Global Economic Overview: Has the Risk of a Double-Dip Recession Risen? Nariman Behravesh, Chief Economist, IHS Global Construction: How Will Activity Weather the Brewing Storm? Scott Hazelton, Director, Construction Services, IHS Global Insight Western Europe: The Scope for German Economic and Construction Sector Decoupling Timo Klein, Senior Economist, World Economic Service, IHS Global Insight Session 2 U.S. CONSTRUCTION OUTLOOK 11:00 a.m. – 11:50 a.m. (E.T.), 4:00 p.m. – 4:50 p.m. (G.M.T.) The construction market continues to weigh negatively on U.S. economic performance. Total construction spending contracted 4.8% in the first quarter of 2010 and is not expected to see positive growth until the last quarter of the year. Will it continue on from there?

August's 60-mile traffic jam in Beijing underscores the state of the infrastructure industry in developing markets. Countries like China and India are struggling to keep up with the incredible pace of economic growth and spending. The same cannot be said for developed markets.
