In a webinar titled "Multilateral Development Finance: Supporting an Inclusive and Sustainable Recovery in South Asia", Dr Paras Kharel, Executive Director, South Asia Watch on Trade, Economics & Environment (SAWTEE), said “Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh, stand to lose preferential market access, policy space, and access to some concessional finance sources. The impact on aid as a whole is not going to be significant as per available data and studies. However, with all countries already in the middle-income group, if not graduation, then income-based graduation will make their access to concessional financing more difficult in the years to come.”
The event was organized by Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD) and Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) on 2 December, 2022.
