The Asian Development Bank recently projected growth to moderate to 4.0 percent in 2026 due to external pressures. The main risks highlighted include the conflict in the Middle East which could impact global energy prices and tourism arrivals. Household spending might also be tempered by higher projected inflation of 5.2 percent for the year.
