WILLEMSTAD – Despite operational challenges, Curaçao’s construction companies are signaling confidence in the sector’s medium- and long-term prospects.
More than half of surveyed firms expect investment levels to increase in 2025, while only a small minority anticipate a decline. Most planned investments remain below Cg 100,000, but a notable share of companies foresee capital expenditures exceeding Cg 1 million.
Looking ahead to the period 2026–2030, a majority of firms expect to continue investing. Nearly half project annual investments above Cg 100,000, and a smaller segment anticipates annual spending exceeding Cg 1 million.
This forward-looking investment outlook reflects business confidence, even as companies navigate rising costs and labor shortages. Compared to developments in Sint Maarten, Curaçao’s sector demonstrates relatively stronger optimism and expansion plans.
