Abstract
Countries should have significant resources to invest in sustainable and inclusive development. A common yardstick to gauge this is the tax-to-GDP ratio, a measure of the economic importance of the public sector in the economy. On average, South and South-West Asia’s taxto-GDP ratio is 12.6 per cent, one of the lowest in the world, below that of other developing countries in the Asia Pacific region, at 15.2 per cent, and much lower than that of OECD countries, at 25.1 per cent. Several countries in the subregion have tax-to-GDP ratios under 10 per cent, with Afghanistan’s being the lowest at just 7.6 per cent.
