Growth is surging across nearly every sector—manufacturing is expanding again, services are thriving, exports are climbing, and consumer demand is rebounding strongly. Businesses are hiring at higher rates, confidence among investors is rising, and government reforms are helping to stabilize key industries. The recovery is not confined to a single area; instead, it reflects a broad-based resurgence that is breathing new life into commerce, trade, and innovation. This turnaround marks a significant shift from the challenges that once weighed down economic momentum. With stronger fundamentals now in place, the economy is well-positioned to sustain its upward trajectory, offering renewed opportunities for both domestic and international partners who are looking to engage with a dynamic market on the rise.
