India remains South Asia's economic pillar, with the World Bank revising its 2026-27 growth forecast up to 6.6%, reflecting resilience despite global uncertainties like geopolitical tensions and volatile energy markets. 

South Asia's overall growth is slowing due to Middle East conflicts and energy price volatility, but India's strong domestic demand supports stability. 

Other regional economies show mixed results amid structural challenges such as climate shocks and financial instability. World Bank warns risks from energy dependency and conflict could hinder recovery.
