The Central Bank has issued a warning that stricter regulations on migrant workers could have a dampening effect on economic growth. According to the bank’s analysis, limiting the influx of migrant workers could lead to labor shortages in key sectors, ultimately impacting the overall performance of the economy. The warning highlights the significant role that migrant workers play in supporting various industries and contributing to economic expansion. By imposing tighter rules, the country risks losing valuable talent and skills, which could slow down economic progress and affect competitiveness. The Central Bank’s cautionary stance underscores the need for policymakers to carefully consider the potential consequences of such regulations on the labor market and the broader economy.
