  • Bauma Kicked Off In Munich: “This Trade Fair Is A Showcase For Germany”

    German Economics Minister Altmaier, Bavarian Minister President Söder and Messe München CEO Dittrich opened the fair
    3,700 exhibitors presented their products at the world’s largest trade fair
    Altmaier: “We must increase the number of apartments at least by half”
    Söder: “The construction industry is the indicator of our economic strength”

    The world’s largest trade fair opened its doors in Munich: On Monday, April 8, 2019, German Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy Peter Altmaier, Bavarian Minister President Dr. Markus Söder and Messe München CEO Klaus Dittrich opened bauma 2019, the world’s leading trade fair for construction machinery, building material machines, mining machines, construction vehicles and construction equipment.

    Peter Altmaier saluted bauma, saying: “This trade fair is a showcase for Germany.” In an address, the German economics minister also touched on the extremely tight housing market facing the country: “We must increase the number of apartments at least by half in coming years.” The minister said the German government planned to invest up to 10 billion Euros in coming years to finance such things as public housing for low-income citizens, the construction of private apartment buildings and a program that provides parents with a government subsidy paid on a per-child basis to finance the purchase of their own home or condominium. The construction machinery industry that is showcasing its products over the next seven days will play a key role in this effort, Altmaier said.

    BC Construction Month Launches with Latest Industry Statistics and Results of Province-Wide Industry Survey

    The BC Construction Association (BCCA) and industry partners launched BC Construction Month with the release of key construction sector statistics and the results of a province-wide survey that highlight the value of the sector to the provincial economy and the key issues facing employers and workers.

    B.C.’s construction industry continues to be the No. 1 employer in B.C.’s goods sector, with more than 242,000 people relying directly on construction for a paycheque: that’s up 21% since 2014, and at 10% of the workforce, is more than any other sector, including forestry, mining, agriculture and fishing combined. As the sector and its role in the provincial economy continue to grow, skilled labour availability continues to be the top issue for most people regardless of age, labour affiliation, business type, or role in the industry. Productivity and procurement practices were also singled out at areas of concern.
