The bank in its “Asian Development Outlook” stated that in Pakistan, public debt is forecast to decline by 7 percentage points to 70 per cent of GDP in 2024–2025. Still, interest payments are expected to require a staggering 62 per cent of fiscal revenues, up from 41per cent in 2022-23. The bank further stated that Pakistan also cut policy rates as inflation fell to 11.8 per cent in May, down from 38 per cent in the same period last year ADB lists factors behind boost in remittance South Asia is on course to largely achieve ADO April 2024 growth forecasts. Downward revisions for GDP growth in Bangladesh and Maldives over the forecast period are offset in 2024 by upward revisions for Bhutan, Nepal, and Pakistan, leaving the region’s 2024 growth forecast unchanged at 6.3 per cent. The growth forecast for 2025 is revised down marginally to 6.5 per cent. The provisional government estimate of GDP growth in Pakistan for FY2024 (ending 30 June 2024) stood at 2.4 per cent, reflecting robust agricultural output due to improved weather conditions and subsidized government credit, among other factors. Although the economic performance in Q1 2024 in Sri Lanka exceeded ADO April 2024 expectations, growth forecasts for 2024 and 2025 are retained as there remain uncertainties as the election cycle begins in the latter half of the year. While Afghanistan’s economy is showing signs of recovery, the weak investment climate, tight fiscal space, and waning international humanitarian and basic needs support underlines its fragility. The inflation forecasts for South Asia are nudged up to 7.1 per cent in 2024 and maintained at 5.8 per cent in 2025. Although inflation forecasts of Bhutan, India, and Pakistan for FY2024 and FY2025 remain the same as in ADO April 2024, the inflation projections for Bangladesh and Maldives are now expected to be higher.
