Impact statement: SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth (Primary Goal): This goal is directly relevant, as the research examines economic growth and its sustained and enhanced development, potentially through spillovers from other countries. Key targets include sustaining per capita economic growth (8.1) and increasing productivity (8.2). SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals (Means of Implementation): This goal addresses the "spillover" and "growth dependence" aspects, focusing on global macroeconomic stability through policy coordination (17.13), a multilateral trading system (17.10), and increasing exports from developing countries (17.11). SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure: Relevant targets include promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialization (9.2), which relates to infrastructure and industrial development that can facilitate trade and integration within the BoBAS region. SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities: Target 10.a, which focuses on special treatment for developing countries, is relevant to addressing the dependency of smaller economies on larger ones within the region.
