MANILA, March 18 (Xinhua) -- The Asian Development Bank (ADB) on Wednesday launched a new roadmap to support Pakistan's transition to sustainable and inclusive growth through private sector-led development.

According to the bank, the five-year strategy from 2026 to 2030 will focus on three pathways: enabling private sector development, advancing inclusion and empowerment, and enhancing resilience and sustainability.

The priorities will be reinforced by crosscutting themes of good governance and institutional strengthening, gender equality and social inclusion, digital transformation, and regional cooperation and integration, the ADB said.

The roadmap responds to this evolving country context by emphasizing export- and investment-led growth, supported by improved public financial management, an enabling business environment, and investments in high-impact sectors, the ADB added. ■
