It left the government with an unsustainable debt burden, while local and global investors became disillusioned by lacklustre returns. Is 2025 the year where it finally turns a corner? There are good reasons to believe it will be. If things go broadly according to plan, the economy will experience a cyclical and structural growth uplift.
