बिहार भारत के सबसे तेजी से विकसित होने वाले राज्यों में से एक है। औद्योगीकरण की कमी, बाढ़, पलायन और अधिक जनसंख्या जैसी चुनौतियों के बावजूद राज्य ने पिछले कुछ वर्षों में उल्लेखनीय आर्थिक वृद्धि दर्ज की है। बिहार की अर्थव्यवस्था मुख्यतः कृषि पर आधारित है, जबकि सकल राज्य घरेलू उत्पाद (GSDP) में सेवा क्षेत्र का सबसे बड़ा योगदान है। राज्य सरकार ने हाल के वर्षों में सड़क, शिक्षा, स्वास्थ्य, उद्योग, कौशल विकास और निवेश को बढ़ावा देकर आर्थिक विकास को गति देने का प्रयास किया है।
