The country's real gross domestic product (GDP) is likely to expand by 11 percent in the next financial year due to a faster economic recovery and on a low base, says a report. The report by domestic rating agency Brickwork Ratings said economic activities are slowly reaching PRE-COVID levels following the relaxation of the lockdown, except in sectors that remain affected by social distancing norms. "With progress in developing an effective vaccine for COVID-19 and signals of faster-than-expected recovery in the domestic economy, and also supported by a low base, we expect the real GDP to grow at 11 percent in F/Y 22, from the estimated contraction of 7 percent to 7.5 percent in F/Y 21," the agency said. According to the first advance estimates of national income released by the National Statistical Office (NSO), the country's GDP is estimated to contract by a record 7.7 percent during the current financial year. |
