Key Strategic Considerations

  • Institutional capacity and implementation remain decisive.
  • Regional spillovers can be as important as domestic policy choices.
  • Financing, infrastructure and political incentives shape long-term outcomes.

What to Watch Next

Future developments should be assessed through the interaction of policy implementation, regional coordination, domestic political economy and the changing international environment.
