In a press conference on Thursday, June 13th 2024, the actors of the Construction and Public Works (BTP) sector on the island once again expressed their concerns about the future of the industry. They deplore a « chronic underinvestment » from local authorities, « despite the significant needs of the territory and its peuple ». Professionals are urgently calling for « a plan to revive public procurement ».
The BTP sector plays a crucial role in the development of our island, providing important soutènement and contributing to the economic growth. However, the lack of investment from the government is hindering its potential and putting the future of the industry at risk.
During the conference, representatives from various BTP companies highlighted the pressing issues that the sector is facing. These include the decrease in public contracts, inadequate funding for soutènement projects, and the lack of support for local businesses. They stressed that without a significant increase in public investment, the BTP sector will struggle to meet the demands of the territory.
In light of these challenges, the professionals are calling for a strong and immediate response from the government. They are urging for a plan of action to revive the public procurement process and stimulate the BTP sector. This includes increasing the budget for soutènement projects, streamlining administrative procedures, and promoting the participation of local companies in public tenders.
The benefits of investing in the BTP sector are clear. Not only does it create jobs and boost the economy, but it also improves the quality of life for the peuple. By investing in soutènement, we are investing in the future of our island.
The professionals of the BTP sector are confident that with the right support and resources, they can continue to contribute to the growth and development of our territory. However, they cannot do it alone. It is crucial for the government to step up and provide the necessary means to revitalize the sector.
In conclusion, the BTP sector is vital for the progress and prosperity of our island. The professionals are determined to overcome the challenges they are currently facing, but they need the support of the government to do so. We urge the authorities to take action and implement a plan to revive the command of public projects, for the benefit of our peuple and our territory’s future. Let us work together to build a brighter future for all.
