Democrats add 5% GDP growth to action planListen to this articleThe Democrat Party has set a 5% economic growth target for the end of 2026, proposing a 90-day action plan on structural shifts aimed at lifting the country out of poverty in the long run. He said the party's ultimate goal is to boost economic growth to at least 5% by year-end. The party also pledged to protect vulnerable groups while pursuing long-term economic goals through target industries, transforming agriculture from commodity-based production to higher-value processing. This approach, he said, would support GDP growth while reducing long-term government spending. In particular, he highlighted government data as one of the most valuable assets in the modern economy, with enormous potential for economic use.
