“We will continue to work with the interim government toward macro-fiscal sustainability, including a focus on fiscal consolidation and domestic resource mobilisation,” the ADB official was quoted as saying by domestic media outlets.

A second priority is the expansion of private sector development to enhance competitiveness and create jobs, he said.  This includes working to streamline government-to-business services to reduce the cost of doing business.

“ADB will help the interim government build a whole-of-government approach to tackling climate change in its development agenda. This will include support for renewable energy and other initiatives that promote green growth,” he added.
