Expressing his views on the advance GDP growth estimate of 6.5 % for the current fiscal year by the Central Statistics Office (CSO), the Chairman of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister (EAC-PM) Bibek Debroy has said that the estimated figures are mirroring the success of reform measures undertaken by the Government in the terms of yield, as 6.5% for the full year means that Q3 and Q4 numbers will be far better than first half of the year.
Debroy expects GDP growth to be higher than 6.5% in Q3 and to reach close to 7% in Q4 and further noted the growth will be more than 7% in the next fiscal year, on the back of the government’s reform measures. He also expects pick-up in growth in private investments and exports. However, Debroy said that the indirect tax collections will be the main driver to lead economic growth, adding that the several indicators like PMI and eight core sector industries have already shown signs of improvement.
The EAC-PM Chairman further said that the advance estimate numbers only reinforce what was already known, that several measures undertaken by the Government will place the economy firmly on an upward growth trajectory, without compromising on fiscal consolidation.
