South Asia's Growth Opportunities

Rapid economic growth has brought down poverty rates in South Asia, but severe forms of exclusion and disparities remain. To secure rapid growth in coming decades, private sector-led growth, focused on investments in infrastructure, energy, logistics, and cities, are essential to generate the jobs needed to employ South Asia's sizeable youth population. The region must also continue building human capital so that its population is well-equipped for the jobs of the future.

The World Bank's Role

The World Bank supports the South Asia Region in designing and implementing economic policies and programs aimed at promoting inclusive growth, macroeconomic stability, and sustainable development. The FCI Unit conducts analytical research, engages in policy dialogue, and facilitates lending operations across diverse sectors, including fiscal policy, trade, private sector development, and economic governance.

  • Contribute analytical inputs to key World Bank products, including Development Policy Operations (DPOs), Country Economic Memoranda (CEMs), Systematic Country Diagnostics (SCDs), and Country Partnership Frameworks (CPFs).
  • Engage with government counterparts, international organizations, and private sector stakeholders to support economic policy dialogue.
  • Prepare analytical reports, policy notes, economic briefs, and presentations for internal and external stakeholders.
  • Support data management through collection, analysis, and maintenance of economic databases, dashboards, and statistical tools.
  • Facilitate knowledge-sharing and capacity-building initiatives with government agencies and local research institutions.

  • Knowledge of macroeconomic policy, fiscal policy, trade and competitiveness, private sector development, or financial sector issues.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; proven ability to engage effectively with policymakers, government counterparts, and diverse stakeholders.
