Prior to the pandemic, the GDP growth was expected to be 3.24 per cent, which has now reduced to -0.4 per cent during the ongoing fiscal year, Xinhua news agency quoted the Ministry as saying.
It adding that the fiscal deficit is also expected to rise from the initial target of 7.5 per cent to 9.4 per cent of the GDP.
The Ministry further said that amid the pandemic, the country's exports were expected to reduce to $21-$22 billion due to a slump in global economic activity and low commodity prices.
Before the pandemic, exports amounted to $25.5 billion.
Moreover, remittances are also expected to decline from the targeted $23 billion to $20-$21 billion.
