Description
Summary:	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).
