World Bank projects Nepal’s economic growth to be 3.3 per cent in 2024 – World News Network

Kathmandu [Nepal], April 2 (ANI): The World Bank (WB) has said that Nepal’s economy is expected to grow by 3.3 per cent in 2024, driven by revived tourism and a pickup in hydropower exports.
On the demand side, private consumption will drive growth, supported by a substantial increase in remittance inflows, according to the World Bank’s twice-a-year country development update.
In its latest Nepal Development Update, the WB stated that the country’s economy is on a recovery path, but private investment remains low while projecting a further rebound in growth of 4.6 per cent in 2025.
However, the forecast is subject to multiple risks, including a growth slowdown in partner countries, notably India, Gulf countries, and Malaysia which could lead to a drop in remittances and tourism.
Further, business environment reforms aimed at attracting more private investment will be needed to support medium-term growth.
“Strengthening the implementation of capital expenditure, boosting business confidence, and strengthening Nepal’s international competitiveness is key to stimulating economic growth and reducing poverty,” Faris Hadad-Zervos, World Bank Country Director for the Maldives, Nepal, and Sri Lanka said.
The Nepal Development Update is prepared in parallel with the South Asia Development Update, a twice-a-year World Bank report that examines economic developments and prospects in the South Asia region and analyzes policy challenges countries face.
The April 2024 edition titled Jobs for Resilience shows growth in South Asia is again higher than any other emerging market and developing country region in the world, projected at 6 per cent in 2024 and 6.1 per cent in 2025.
But, this strong outlook is deceptive, the report stated.
For most countries, growth is still below pre-pandemic levels and is reliant on public spending.
At the same time, private investment growth has slowed sharply in all South Asian countries, and the region is not creating enough jobs to keep pace with its rapidly increasing working-age population.
“South Asia is failing right now to fully capitalize on its demographic dividend. This is a missed opportunity,” World Bank Chief Economist for South Asia, Franziska Ohnsorge said.
“If the region employed as large a share of the working-age population as other emerging markets and developing economies, its output could be 16 per cent higher,” Ohnsorge added.
The South Asia Development Update recommended a range of policies to spur firm growth and boost employment, including increasing trade openness, improving business climates and institutions, removing financial sector restrictions, improving education, and strengthening legal protection of women’s rights.
These measures would also help lift employment growth, boost productivity, and free up space for public investments in climate adaptation. (ANI)
