Martin Toogood. business developineni tinittwr a ith the firm in Dubai said. "Dubai is the uorse hit" Toogood told Arabian Business in an i le%%, "No one is doing anything in Dubai at the moment, so we're not even looking or asking. Everyone is saying 'wait a few months'. We've had a couple of jobs stopped or put on hold here so we sent the whole team down to Abu Dhabi where we have two jobs." He said going forward the firm was pinning its hopes on infrastructure and development projects backed by governments. In addition to two projects in Abu Dhabi, the firm is also managing construction of the $27 billion King Abdullah Economic City in Saudi Arabia, and is engaged in contracts in Qatar and Kuwait. "All those government-backed projects don't rely on developers' money, they rely on oil and gas and are carrying on," he said. "We shouldn't be looking at [private] development projects in places like Dubai now - we are looking more for government-backed projects, like universities and hospitals." He described business in the US and Europe as "pretty bad" and said Turner was moving staff from the US who weren't working on projects to the Gulf. As the Gulf feels the affects of the economic slowdown, private sector projects are drying up as investors and speculators beat a hasty retreat from the market.
