Abstract
Progress on reducing extreme poverty and
boosting shared prosperity through human development and
employment generation has continued. This needs to be
further consolidated in the near-term by sustaining Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) and remittances growth recovery,
creating jobs, containing inflation, and making progress on
improving the quality of service delivery in health and
education. To sustain growth in the near- and medium-term,
private investments need to increase significantly. At the
same time, the quality of public investment needs to be
substantially enhanced to alleviate the infrastructure
constraints on private investments and to expand service
delivery. Moving forward in the immediate future, stronger
attention is needed to (a) swiftly complete the transition
in the garment industry, (b) finish the critical ongoing
road development projects, (c) enact the Public Private
Partnership (PPP) law, and (d) award contracts to build
Special Economic Zones (SEZs).
