Outcome
Unresolved
After 8.18% growth in the first half of 2026, hitting the full-year goal would require roughly 11.7% growth in the second half, an acceleration with no recent precedent, and one made even less likely by public-investment disbursement still running behind pace at around 42% of the annual plan by end-July.
