The government sees attaining a GDP growth target of 6.75 percent in the next fiscal year (FY25) riding on pursuing all the prudent policy measures.

“It is expected that pursuing all the prudent policy measures will help achieve GDP growth of 6.75 percent in the next fiscal year and 7.25 percent in the medium term,” he said.
