Laos: Country Profile
Laos will see strong growth in 2016. Investment and private consumption are the main drivers. The current account deficit is very large. Though the imbalance is covered by investment, it is not sustainable. Reported rates of unemployment are low but the number of new job entrants far exceeds the number of jobs being created. In the medium term, economic growth will average about 7.3% per year. Support should come from resource-related FDI and gradual investment in non-resource sectors.
