Bangladesh Economy is Getting Rich but It Is at Risk | Bangladesh Economy | Econ

🚀 Bangladesh's economy has transformed dynamically in just 52 years of independence! 🌍 From a nation with low expectations to surpassing both India and Pakistan in income per person, Bangladesh is a remarkable success story. 💼 With a thriving Ready-Made Garments sector boosting exports and GDP, the country has seen consistent economic growth exceeding 7%. 📈 Challenges ahead include the risk of overdependence on a single sector and potential loss of trade privileges.🇧🇩💰

As a Bangladeshi, I have to admit that the government has failed to diversify the export sector. It is too much reliant on a single sector. There is a lack of entrepreneurship. Most tech students flock to foreign countries for higher education and don't return. There is also rampant corruption and political instability which hinder the nation's progress. The recent democratic backsliding will worsen the situation. 😢

In light of the ongoing global economic crisis, it is crucial for everyone to prioritize investing in diverse sources of income that are not reliant on the government. This includes exploring opportunities in stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies. Despite the challenging economic situation, it remains a favorable time to consider these investments.

[@lilyhershey1]

The pathway to substantial returns doesn't solely rely on stocks with significant movements. Instead, it revolves around effectively managing risk relative to reward. By appropriately sizing your positions and capitalizing on your advantage repeatedly, you can progressively work towards achieving your financial goals. This principle applies across various investment approaches, whether it be long-term investing or day trading.

The best time for the Bengal was (1576-1765). The Bengal Subah also referred to as Mughal Bengal, was the largest subdivision of Mughal India encompassing much of the Bengal region, which includes modern-day Bangladesh, the Indian state of West Bengal, and some parts of the present-day Indian states of Bihar, Jharkhand, and Odisha between the 16th and 18th centuries. The state was established following the dissolution of the Bengal Sultanate, a major trading nation in the world when the region was absorbed into the Mughal Empire. Bengal was the wealthiest region in the Indian subcontinent. Bengal Subah has been variously described as the "Paradise of Nations "and the "Golden Age of Bengal". It alone accounted for 40% of Dutch imports from Asia. The eastern part of Bengal was globally prominent in industries such as textile manufacturing and shipbuilding, and it was a major exporter of silk and cotton textiles, steel, saltpeter, and agricultural and industrial produce in the world. The region was also the basis of the Anglo-Bengal War. By the 18th century, Bengal emerged as a semi-independent state, under the rule of the Nawabs of Bengal, who acted on Mughal sovereignty. It started to undergo proto-industrialization, making significant contributions to the first Industrial Revolution, especially industrial textile manufacturing. In 1757 and 1764, the Company defeated the Nawab of Bengal at the Battle of Plassey and the Battle of Buxar, and Bengal came under British influence. It was deindustrialized.

Undoubtedly, there has been serious damage in the DOING BUSINESS index over the years. Though its ranking has started back towards good ranking very slowly from 2018. To improve on this ranking, the government appointed some officials to improve this ranking. But, there is doubt whether doing business has become easy or not. In contrast to FDI, private investment had steadily increased from 12.5% of GDP in 1981 to 17.3% in 2000, reaching a high of 25.3% in 2019. Though it has declined from the pandemic period.

The next economic crisis is anticipated to be more severe, primarily because we won't have the financial means to bail it out as we did in the past. The previous crisis should have been more severe, yet it wasn't as catastrophic as anticipated. Additionally, individuals defaulting on their debts are likely to include those with good credit scores and loans carrying higher interest rates, amplifying the gravity of the situation in various aspects. Moreover, the current scenario is exacerbated by inflation depreciating the dollar and impacting markets, unlike the previous crisis, aside from high gas prices.

[@Eric_Dennis]

Inflation is causing a multitude of issues globally, ranging from food shortages to shortages in diesel and heating fuel, as well as escalating housing prices and the risk of a financial market crash. These factors are converging, and by the year's end, it could result in a full-fledged disaster.

From another perspective, by strengthening private investment, Bangladesh probably will face similar issue as South Korea, where the country is practically controlled by both the government and private sector giant. Sure economically strong private investment will boost the "country" ranks faster, but socially the rift between the poor and the rich will be wider. Personally I see they are in best trajectory, both lifting up lower income houses and steadily strengthening the overall economy. With exception of that laser focused economy on textile and garments. One major disruption and we will have another Sri Lanka.

You’ve clearly never lived in Korea and your knowledge of that country and its economics appears to be from the University of Twitter. The gap between rich and poor exists yes, but the standard of living for the poor is actually quite high. It’s all relative of course and anyone outside the top 1% will always have something to complain about, but the country continues to grow and thrive and a key reason is the basics are taken care of, and at a really high level, and really the standard of almost everything is quite high even in comparison to other OECD countries. Food and transportation are ridiculously affordable despite the quality being world class, education too, and homelessness is extremely low. The country has its share of problems and challenges but the superficial talking points you mention ignore some key truths about Korea’s economy. The proof is in the pudding. The country just works. Go visit some time. You’ll see what I mean.

Otherwise, southern, western and northern states are all economically and socially ahead of Bangladesh. India's Maharashtra has a per capita GDP around $3500 while Bangladesh at $2600.. It has less population than Bangladesh but GDP more than Bangladesh.. If Bangladesh would have been a state of India, it would have been a moderate fast growing coastal state like.
