The World Bank cut its forecast for South Asia’s economic growth by nearly a percentage point, as punishing US tariffs on India — the region’s largest economy — weigh on the outlook.
In its Tuesday report, the Washington-based institution projected South Asia’s growth to ease to 5.8% in 2026, down from 6.6% this year, a sharper slowdown than previously anticipated.
