Insight
The slowdown in extractive industry spending
This report is currently unavailable
Report summary
Capital spending in the world’s major extractive industries has been booming since the global financial crisis. Development expenditure in upstream oil and gas and mining continued to rise in 2013, but by just 5%. Oil and gas spending slowed to around 4%, whilst bulk mining and metal mining recorded 8% and 10% increases, year-on-year. Over the next three years, we expect a plateau in capital investment as the boom dissipates, although this is from a much higher base than in 2009.
