Large Spanish contractors are undertaking more projects around the world to expand their prospects in 2014. The country's heavyweight construction companies continue to expand operations in the UK and Poland, North America and Australia faced with a lack of public works in Spain. More projects are starting in Latin America and the Middle East and some companies are looking to emerging markets in Asia to explore such opportunities globally. Large Spanish contractors are making these efforts to recover from the losses incurred in 2013 and post better returns in 2014 and the future.
