 creating jobs, containing inflation, and making progress on
 improving the quality of service delivery in health and
 education. To sustain growth in the near- and medium-term,
 private investments need to increase significantly. At the
 same time, the quality of public investment needs to be
 substantially enhanced to alleviate the infrastructure
 constraints on private investments and to expand service
 delivery. Moving forward in the immediate future, stronger
 attention is needed to (a) swiftly complete the transition

 Partnership (PPP) law, and (d) award contracts to build
 Special Economic Zones (SEZs).
