We've reduced our GDP growth forecasts for Laos to 3.8% for 2025. The downgrade stems from inflation remaining stickier than expected, fuelling emigration to neighbouring countries, which has exacerbated existing challenges for human capital. We anticipate a recovery will begin in 2026 when we expect the GDP growth rate to reach 4.0%, rising to 4.3% in 2027.
