War and conflicts in their various forms and manifestations remain pervasive around the world. As history has repeatedly shown, war and conflicts impose immeasurable human suffering and large economic and social and greater uncertainty associated with conflicts can impede investment and economic growth not only during the war but also afterward, making it difficult to escape. In addition, conflicts tend to complicate public finances, lowering revenue by destroying a part of the tax base while raising military expenditures. Fiscal deficits and public debt rise as a result, and resources shift away from social and developmental spending which further accentuates the consequences. At the regional level, war and conflicts pose an additional challenge because of their potential spillover effects, War can spread to the neighboring countries with a direct spillover effect. They can also have indirect spillover effects by depressing economic activity due to increased uncertainty in production or trade disruption) or by creating social strains due to a large influx of refugees in nearby countries.
