Poverty in all its forms remains one of humanity’s most significant challenges (Taghizadeh-Hesary et al., 2021). The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a bold commitment to finish what we started and end poverty in all forms and dimensions by 2030.Global extreme poverty rose in 2020 for the first time in over 20 years as the disruption of COVID-19. In 2020, around 120 million people fell into poverty as the COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on economies and societies. The pace of poverty reduction decelerated due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the global economic downturns. The COVID-19 crisis risks reversed decades of progress in the fight against poverty and pushed millions of people back into poverty (UNU-WIDER, 2020).Therefore due to the current global economic status, the world is not on track to end poverty by 2030. Given the above-mentioned situation, if we plan to end poverty in line with SDG 1, governments must reconsider their policies and allocate resources for this aim.This special issue aimed to provide several studies that formulate policies on achieving poverty reduction goals for inclusive and sustainable development. This special issue provides several empirical studies on the roles of financial inclusion, financial development, financial education, infrastructure, knowledge and human capital, remittance, energy security and economic growth in poverty reduction and inclusive growth. The papers of this special issue provide practical policy recommendations for shaping development policies on poverty alleviation, especially in the developing world.This special issue consists of 18 papers.In the first paper, Taghizadeh-Hesary et al. examine the role of energy security in poverty reduction in a sample of least-developed Asian economies. They postulate an energy security index and found a negative relationship between energy security and poverty reduction, suggesting that energy security helps reduce poverty. They conclude that energy security promotes sustainable poverty alleviation and recommend practical policies.In the second paper, Zhao and Rasoulinezhad explore how the COVID-19 pandemic affected poverty in ","PeriodicalId":22940,"journal":{"name":"The Singapore Economic Review","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136170812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study focuses on India, one of the largest emerging market economies of strategic importance, globally. Using a novel business cycle dating algorithm, we identify up-cycle and down-cycle phases in India’s GDP growth rate cycle. Our paper also implements dynamic factor analysis using several high frequency indicators for tracking private investment activity in India. We find that a boost to private investment can arrest a growth deceleration (down-cycle), via consumption and output channels. In addition, we observe that both quantum and quality of public expenditure play an important role in arresting the growth deceleration. For both these channels to work, credit offtake is crucial for a bank-dominated economy such as India. Besides addressing legacy issues relating to banking NPAs, we also highlight that a timely reduction of monetary policy rate sup-ported by an accommodative liquidity stance could help smoothen the path to growth recovery.","PeriodicalId":22940,"journal":{"name":"The Singapore Economic Review","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75619773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
