1 India GDP growth:

In India, GDP growth measures the seasonal adjusted price of goods and services produced
by the Indian economy in the current quarter. India is the 10th largest economy in the world
and has the second largest population. The most important and fastest growing sector of
India's economy is the service sector. Trade, hotels, transportation and communications:
Agriculture, forests and fishing account about 12% of the production, but more than 50% of
the labor force employs. 15% of GDP is generated accounts, 8% for the remaining 5% and
mining, power, gas and water construction.

India's real GDP growth is expected to be 3.3 per cent against 1.6 per cent in fiscal 21 and a
crisis in the global market from 2020.

Goldman Global Team said that in the past two weeks, as the COVID crisis grows,
Goldman's global team has now predicted that the world will fall into crisis by 2020 and the
risks remain. "They have cut our global GDP forecast to 1.8 percent by 2020, which has been
revised by a maximum of 5 percentage points since the beginning of the year. For the United
States, we have cut our growth forecast to 6.2 percent by 2020 (from 3.7 percent
previously)," the company said.

In India, the spread of the virus, nationwide shutdown on March 25th, social unrest and
consumer and business concerns have increased sharply in the past two weeks. "High
frequency data and anecdotal evidence, while still limited, suggest a significant source of
economic activity," Goldman said.

The Reserve Bank of India had already predicted that GDP would grow by 5% in the 20th
fiscal year. However, Goldman Said it expects a strong month-to-month recovery in the
second half of the three assumptions based on the fiscal year.

According to the banking group, the three-week nationwide blockade, which is expected to
be taken only in a careful manner, will reduce the number of new infections in the next four
to six weeks.

Second, despite the limited financial support so far, our hope is more financial motivation
from square central and state states. Third, we expect the RBI to continue to be financially
more financially viable while taking the lecvedity vaccine.

1.1 Business Growth in India:

The Business Expectations Index (BEI) in India rose to 105 in the fourth quarter of 2019-20
fiscal years from 102.2 in the previous three-month period.

In India, the Business Expectations Index (B) is counted as a weight for the new business
indicator (GVA part of different industry groups). The nine indicators are considered: (1
overall operating conditions: 2 output; (3 Order books; (iv) Inventory of raw materials: (v)
Inventory of finished goods: (6) Profit margins: (7) Employment use . B gives a quarter snap
shot of the business outlook and takes values between 0 and 200, which is worked to extend
from 100 to 100 ranges. The total number of responses from quarter to quarter and averaged
1,200 during the past two years.

1.2 Future Business Growth:

Many people in the West see India as a place full of people, unlike the rest of the developed
world; however, such an assessment is unlikely to further dissocial the quality, which is likely
to catch China as the biggest economic power on the planet during a long period of time.
India, with its vast population, is becoming a place for high quality of education, many
natural resources and most resources, its citizens, fast business and business investment.
India's business growth and business opportunities are growing rapidly, which is ideal for all
 Page |5

industries to start looking for growth opportunities, especially for technology-based

Australian companies. Working with the industry sector at The Height of India is a winning
digital strategy for Australia marketing agencies.

1.3 Development of industry

India's renowned hospitals, doctors and dentists meet the standards of many industrial and
developed countries in the West. But even if they do the same, prices don't have to be
determined. In the United States or Europe, treatment can cost thousands of dollars or even
thousands of dollars, and in India it is very low cost. This is due to an increase in medical
travel, traveling to private doctors or hospitals to get treatment with people from rich western
countries, requiring treatment and vaccine therapy, which is at a lower cost than individual
treatments in Europe or the United States. This means medical boom and industrial fees need
to help digital marketing experts bring their opportunities out of India. This is a huge
opportunity for Australian companies with digital marketing experience with large industry
growth which will help India’s industry to lead the boom by providing high quality digital
services.

1.4 Room for development

Even India's so-called negative problems actually give businesses the opportunity to think,
decisive, positively change. One of India's largest populations has its inefficient ability to
tackle back pollution, waste and other industrial waste. However, the producers, private
organizations and non-profit organizations, and even governments in India, are beginning to
recognize the importance of proper industrial waste management, recycling and the technique
of wasting proper waste. For the right advertising business, trash can be a big business; there
is plenty of room for growth. The ability to recycling materials in India in part of the price
and then reselling it back to Europe or the Us is a huge potential business that not only
reduces India's pollution problems, but it can make it useful for the industry to remove
pollution and make it profitable for companies.

1.5 Business Law assistance to business growth:

Currently, there is no better time to invest in India. Since these trade laws have been British
colonial stoic for decades, many Indian trade laws reflect European and American laws. With
similar business laws, a large working population, and almost all the resources, people and
 Page |6

foreign investment, India's future is bright and bright, and with the addition of India's star, the
future of corporate and venture capital groups is likely to grow with it.

1.6 But the "Trust deficit" of the Western market.

The study shows that major Western markets found challenges, with a disturbing 54 per cent
difference in international confidence in Indian business. This "lack of confidence" shows
that these issues are putting pressure on India's competitiveness abroad, rooted in the non-
Indian public perception of the Indian brand position and the fundamental lack of
understanding of the industrial power of India's various industries.

Globally, Indian businesses are challenged by the lack of customer awareness of products and
services produced in India. The Trust Barometer Survey shows that companies may take
three important steps to increase this awareness. The first step is to invest in employees, then
to create a momentum between investment brands, and third, rich and young.

2 Pakistan GDP growth:

Pakistan is one of the poorest and least developed countries in Asia. Pakistan's semi-
industrial economy is growing, depending on manufacturing, agriculture and delivery.
Although GDP has been rising at an average annual rate of 5% since 2005, it is not enough to
keep pace with rapid population growth. Worse, political instability, widespread corruption
and weak law enforcement agencies have affected private and foreign investment.

According to a new report by the Asian Development Bank, Pakistan's economic growth rate
will fall to 2.6 per cent this year, when domestic demand for economic stability, the
production of co-strains cotton and the spread of the coronavirus.

With a growth rate of 2.6 per cent, South Asia is the sixth largest economy.

The report notice issued is more likely to boost covid-19 expansion as it has shut down
private companies in efforts to further increase consumer demand and join temporarily.

The bank said weak demand under Covid-19 may have negative effects on exports, but
overall export policy should be strengthened due to stability, better ease of operation and the
flexible effects of currency depletion.

"The economic growth of Pakistan is expected to slow down to 2.6 percent this year and 3.2
percent in 2021, as a result of sustained stabilization efforts, the impact of reducing
agricultural growth.

Also, the external crisis, the stagnates of agriculture in Pakistan's development, particularly
affecting cotton production, and stabilizing efforts will be increased in limited domestic
demand. The Bank said the review of The Economic Imbalance of Pakistan is necessary to
restore confidence in the economy and bring future benefits.

Agriculture is expected to grow after the worst in more than two decades, the cultivation of
cotton, wheat and other large crops. Some export-based industries, such as textiles and
cherries, are expected to grow a little bit. However, mass manufacturing, which provides
more than half of industrial production, is likely to result in a deal with the currency
bankruptcy, which forces some industries to share production costs and increase prices.

The macroeconomic imbalance is expected to accelerate 3.2 percent in the 2020-21 fiscal
years as the economy is brought under the sub-sides of the bankruptcy control and the
 Page |8

Implementing important structural reforms to improve energy production and distribution, as

well as overall business environment, may facilitate investment.

The Government has decided to make it a more effective way to combat the effects of ADB
bonds.

ADB says that social development costs have not been kept pace with the rising demand, as
the Human Development Report 2019 listing Pakistan 152 to 189 economies.

Health results remain poor, with the highest mother-to-be mortality and the third highest rate
of child stunning in the world. An estimated 23,000,000 children are out of school. It says
that limited employment opportunities and high-end pocket health care bills often lock people
in poverty, often with economic setbacks that lead them to poverty.

Pakistan has long-term problems to improve the country's business environment and increase
the country's tax base, including increased investment in education, health and health. In view
of demographic challenges, Pakistan's leaders will be forced to implement economic reforms
to promote further development of the energy sector and support the economic development
needed to employ its growing and rapidly growing Urbana hang population, a large
proportion of which are 25.

To develop Pakistan and China, China-Pakistan economic corridor (CPEC) is implementing

$60,000,000 in energy and other infrastructure projects. Pakistan believes that the investment
of the CPEC will be based on export growth by increasing GDP growth by more than 6%.
However, the responsibilities related to the KPAC have raised imf concerns about investment
in Pakistan and the needs of medium-scale external financing.

2.1 Pakistan’s different sectors growth:

Pakistan is at the height. The country's commercial and industrial sectors are worth more than
$300,000,000.000. The business sector is on the rise and the economy is growing every day.
Pakistan has increased investment from China for joint decision to restore the ancient silk
highway.

Pakistan's economy is growing continuously, allowing different industries to invest in

Pakistan and allowing different sectors of the country to grow. So if you want to invest a little
money, here are three industries to invest in Pakistan, and you shouldn't ignore.

2.2 Retail Market:

Pakistan is the world's fastest growing retail market, which is expected to grow by 8.2 percent
a year between 2016 and 2021.

The trend of retailing in Pakistan is very encouraging and with more retail stores in the world,
it is about developing new forms of retailing and building different industries to invest in
Pakistan. Shopping centers, restaurants, multi-hall cinemas and many shops in the country's
largest cities have grown rapidly. Household size and income have a strong impact on their
purchasing power.

In other sectors of Pakistan, investment in the sector (retail market) remains highly profitable,
and more and more companies are now involved in retail.

2.3 Energy sector:

The energy sector is one of the most important sectors to invest in Pakistan. The industry is
facing huge demand as energy demand continues to rise. For many years, Pakistan has
struggled to tackle the growing demand for electricity, making it quick to change this way of
generating electricity. However, this sector plays an important role in the country.

As the way of a business boom, China plans to invest about $35,000,000 in 19 power projects
in Pakistan's energy sector. At the same time, many hydropower plants are being
implemented to meet the current growing demand.

Solar energy also becomes an alternative to the average household for small businesses.

2.4 Automotive sector:

Pakistan's automotive industry has grown significantly in the last few years and now Pakistan
is the most promising of any other industry. As demand for transportation increases, demand
for cars surges. As the market floods with the introduction of a large number of cheap cars,
the once dominant auto industry has responded to cheaper, better performance options. The
Ministry of Industry and Production allows other manufacturers, such as United Automotive
Ltd., Kia Motors-Lucky and Audi, to set up assembly plants in the country.

This development proves that Pakistan's automotive sector is moving in the right direction.

The Us Department of International Development works with pakistan and development

partners to promote private sector development, increase agricultural production and improve
business-friendly environment.

United States International Development Association is a dynamic and profitable market

through sales, revenue and employment opportunities, market lancagas, technology and
infrastructure Promoting the agricultural sector, creating a productive business environment
for sustainable economic growth, promoting cross-border trade and strengthening regional
lankagas is driving private sector investment.

Featured

 Usaid has invested over $426,600,000 to support the private sector's agriculture and
small and medium-sized enterprises, including agricultural and food processing
technologies (seeds, goods, great, livestock)
 Since 2011, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has benefited over 1,000,000 rural
households with international development to help improve farming practices and
support economic growth.
 Since 2010, over 835,800 acres have benefited from better technology or management
methods.
 Since 2011, projects have created more than 75,600 new jobs.
 Since 2010, sales of Pakistani companies have increased by over $261,000,000 and
exports to about $119,200,000, thanks to the United States Department of
International Development's assistance.
 The American Association for International Development has achieved more than
$426,600,000 in private sector investment in collaboration with Pakistani businesses.
 In history, more than 381,000 farmers, with the support of the United States
Department for International Development, have applied better technology and
farming management methods.

2.5 Promoting private sector development

The U.S. Department of International Development helps companies improve their access to
new technologies and management methods in high-value industries such as dairy products,
textiles and agronosis. The international development of the United States has established a
business organization to open the Lankagas market for business, improve business operations
 P a g e | 11

and encourage regional trade. To help international development, the United States has
worked with small and medium-scale businesses to improve business practices, improve
business-friendly environment and increase access to capital. Financing is a challenge for
young entrepreneurs. The U.S. Department of International Development is working with
banks to encourage financing for SMEs and to help banks provide more than $44,400,000 in
loans to SMEs. The American Association for International Development has also established
four partnerships with private banks in Pakistan to increase credit access to SMEs.

2.6 Improve agricultural production

Pakistan's agricultural sector employs more than 40% of the country's workforce and is the
main driver of the country's economic growth. The American Institute for International
Development worked with Pakistan to promote new crop varieties and improve management
methods to increase production. To increase the income of farmers and agribusinesses, the
American International Migration Association is helping small and medium-class agricultural
organizations fund and more profitable food for fresh production, meat and processed food.

2.7 Improving the business support environment

The American League for International Development supports economic policy reforms to
make it easier for businesses to do business. The United States Department of International
Development has helped the Pakistani government and has modified the 2015 generation to
enable domestic and international private seed companies to enter the Pakistani market. The
legislation encourages competition and foreign investment. The United States Department of
International Development helped design a new regulatory plan for licensing and operation of
some agricultural warehouse receipt systems. This will allow farmers to save financing for
their own crops while improving post crop storage. The Us Department of International
Development has also provided a new agricultural policy to the Punjab government that
focuses on improving agricultural production and profitability, improving food quality and
analyzing agricultural subsidies.

The US Department of International Development is helping Pakistan modernize its trade

system and adopt global trade standards, including the integration of tariffs, simplifying
procedures and implementing international trade agreements/conventions. Through these
measures, the government will improve the access to Pakistan trade and reduce the cost of
compliance for businesses in trade. The United States is working with the government to
 P a g e | 12

establish a national single window and electronic payment system for international
development and cargo clarence, reducing the cost of capital by setting up one-stop shops for
companies looking to do business time and business. The U.S. Department of International
Development also helped federal and provincial policymakers in reviewing the framework of
investment and small and medium-range enterprise policy. The increasing investment in
updating these frameworks will drive and enhance the business potential of the entrepreneurs.

2.8 Economic development of Pakistan

According to the World Bank, growth in Pakistan continues to accelerate, but the
macroeconomics is widening the imbalance. The macroeconomics is a major concern for the
near economic outlook of stability.

According to the World Bank, Pakistan's gross domestic product has grown by 0.8 percent
over the past year, reaching 5.3 percent in 2017. The main drivers improved performance in
services and agriculture sectors. There has been some recovery in the industrial sector.
Private sector credit and support have played a key role in the development of the business in
a low interest rate environment.

According to the International Monetary Fund, GDP growth is expected to be 5.6 percent in
2018. This is the implementation of increasing infrastructure costs and structural and
economic reforms.

Under China's "Belt and Road" first, China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is currently
under development. The CPEC is a series of modern infrastructure projects, including roads,
railways and power plants, designed to improve geographical connectivity in the area.

3 Bangladesh GDP growth:

In Bangladesh, services are the largest sector of the economy, accounting for 52% of GDP. In
the services sector, the most important components are wholesale, retail and trade,
transportation, storage and communications, and real estate, lease and commercial activities
(7%). Industry accounts for about 34 percent of THE industry's GDP, with the most
important manufacturing and construction. The remaining 14% is provided by agriculture and
forests and fisheries.
 P a g e | 13

Textiles, the backbone of the industrial sector of Bangladesh, account for a total exports of
more than 80% in the 2016-17 financial year. The industrial sector continues to grow, despite
the need to improve plant safety conditions. The continued growth in exports from the textile
industry, combined with the $13,000,000 in foreign remittances from Bangladesh,
contributed to the increase in Bangladesh's foreign exchange reserves in the 2016-17 financial
years. The latest improvement in energy infrastructure, including the launch of LNG imports
in 2018, is a key step in addressing key development barriers.
 P a g e | 14

Bangladesh's economy is not growing fast, starting from a very low base compared to India
or Pakistan. By 1990, Bangladesh's minimum wage was 30% of Pakistan.

Thanks to local cotton and improved technology and experience, Pakistani textile exporters
have made it for.

In the Musharraf period, this advantage led to Pakistan being shifted to a consumer-
dominated economy.

That's why Bangladeshis listen to Pakistani music; buy Pakistani clothing brands or watch a
game or two, but not the other way around.

Although Bangladesh leaders, governments are corrupt, they do not have any dead politics in
Bangladesh. Grass roots are more accessible to people on the surface (microfinance) and
technology such as mobile phones and the Internet. If corruption can be reduced to a more
tolerant level, the country can increase the growth by an additional 2 to 3 per cent, which is
the gdp of a rapidly middle-income country.

The Bangladesh business centre aims to provide high quality and professional services in
sustainable economic development, organizational development and industrial sectors. The
 P a g e | 15

Business Centre of Bangladesh includes an integrated approach to identifying problems,

focusing on key issues and options for organizational development and building capacity.
Development partners and governments work primarily to promote development goals in
Bangladesh's business centre. They also work with the private sector on specific projects.
Their focus area is divided into three parts:

 Website Management Services

 Consulting Management
 Department of Skills
 Their long experience in business and private sector development has enabled us to
develop in partnership with a wide range of stock holders. They are always happy to
receive letters from their customers and work with them to ensure that they are
committed to achieving our business goals.
