I saw this already and think the CEBR is too pessimistic about BD. All economic organisations tend to underestimate GD GDP growth, with the ADB coming the closest to getting it right. "The CEBR expects an average growth rate of 6.4% between the FY2022-23 and FY2026-27" With the way that BD...

You are talking about not spending money on key infrastructure instead of ~20 billion US dollars over a whole decade BD government in that same time period is likely to spend well over 1,000 billion US dollars on public spending. The fact is that a country can never have enough money to spend...

No it's not. Just having a high-income does not make a country developed. Turkey is more developed than Greece.

@leonblack08 Greece is not a developed country. It only looks that way due to massive EU funds that built its infrastructure but the people have incomes more like a high middle-income country. Also BD has scale as in 17 times the population and athletics is only a small part of the Olympic...

Corrected dude. My excuse is I have a cold today.:p:

I do not want to insult our hosts but their problems are not temporary. Pakistan is being left behind in economic terms by both India and BD. Unless there is a miracle then in 15 years they will be the only 3rd world country in the region. BD-Indian economic partnership will pull both Nepal...

Nearly there but BD will also be a regional hi-tech hub as last fiscal it exported 1.4 billion dollars of IT services and products and we are likely to see 30-40% growth of the last 14 years continue.

Pax BD is coming with BD at the heart of it. It will consist of BD, W Bengal, NE States, Nepal and Bhutan. Will be one of the growth engines in the world over the next few decades.

BD is a truly lucky country with the greatest leader on the planet. Hasina will win the 2023 “election” and lead BD out of 3rd world status by the end of the decade. She is destined to go down in history as one the greatest BD’shis.

Dude, Mexico hosted the 1968 Olympics and they were no richer than BD when they won those games. Why do you think that BD cannot afford it? We are looking at maybe a max of 2% of total government spending for the decade leading up to the 2036 games. Some people are doers while too many are...

These idiots cannot comprehend what a BD in 2036 will look like. World-class infrastructure, slums cleared and people in Dhaka and other cities living in modern apartment buildings with good civic amenities.

BD current youngsters are more health conscious than older generations. A 2036 Olympics would be 11 years away from when the decision is announced in 2025 and so plenty of time for them to get ready and win medals in 2036. @Indos - Sounds sensible to go for smaller games first but BD needs to...

Just hosting the Olympics will change the way that sport is seen in BD. Some of the required facilities may be ready many years before the actual event is held. Every country that has hosted the Olympics has done much better at their own event than when they were not the organisers.

BD was under Pakistan's thumb till the 1971 and it has only had control of its own destiny for 51 years so far. 1970s was a lost decade as it had no money and it lost a large percentage of its educated population during 1971. India is different as it had all that UK administration and...

BD will have all the infrastructure apart from the sporting facilities by 2036 anyway. You need one large stadium that will admittedly cost billions but each of the rest of the facilities will be in the hundreds of millions of US dollars max. You are confusing with Qatar that had to build like...

There is already a thread about India maybe bidding but I think BD should also get in and try to capture the 2036 Olympics. Like S Korea annouced its arrival into a dynamic and fast growing economy by hosting the 1988 Olympics, so BD can do the same if it won and then hosted the 2036 Olympics...

Dude, don't take this the wrong way but do you have a learning disability? BD started from SCRATCH in 1971 and suffered a terrible first decade due to the war of 1971 and that Pakistan had stolen all the money from the central bank and killed as many of the intellectuals as it could get its...

These "experts" crow day and night that BD cannot yet build it's own mega projects like Padma Bridge and Roopur nuclear power plant. If they thought for even a minute, they would realise that for BD companies to be able to carry these projects out then they need to gain the initial experience...

Dude is a good guy but does not understand that everyone needs a profit motive. Well regulated capitalism is the best way of running a country. Look at how crap the UK NHS is without profit motive to become more efficient or deliver better service.

Think BD cannot be exactly the same as China as our culture and mentality is a bit different. A half-way would suit BD.
