Key points: 1. Apparel exports are up 50% and so garment exports are booming and India is allowing free flow of these items. 2. India seems to be putting up unfair barries to jute exports and that has cost BD 300 million US dollars in exports in lH1 2023...

He used to hang on India having 70% higher per capita PPP over BD but now that BD is within 5% of India, his last hope of "proving" that BD fakes its economic data is gone. :cry:

BD government needs to provide support to the industry that by 2030, these types can be built in BD, with only the engines and some electronics imported.

Poster has this unusual paranoia about India that makes no sense. BD absolutely needs the West(US primarily), China and India to develop. The other countries of the world it can probably ignore, bar maybe Gulfies for a few more years while it builds up its own industries to employ millions of...

That is a pretty dumb thing to say dude. How can a DNA test discriminate between an Indian and BD'shi that live just across the border? Facts are that even BD'shis Hindus who fled in 1971 and migrated afterwards are coming back to BD due to better economic opportunities in their own country...

^^^ See I have upset the troll so much that he pops up after such a long time and is cursing me still. :lol: https://www.tbsnews.net/bangladesh/energy/bangladesh-extend-deal-india-power-import-317242 "As per the new proposal, Bangladesh will now pay Tk 7.13852 (Rs 6.27) per kilowatt hour...

The BD trolls must be devastated that *their* party is more pro-India than Hasina it seems. :rofl: Like I have said BD probably has the best government on the planet right now and it will play India-China-USA against each other for mainly BD benefits. None of these 3 powers will be given too...

He is making up a new reality it seems. All the information as to the massive gulf in potential between BD and Pakistan is out there for anyone to read. It is a coping mechanism and he just cannot accept the true reality.

What on earth has this got to do with BD back in the early 18th century? Read a book in Mughal history by any source and you will see what I told you is correct. BD’s genetic and cultural level has always been at the top and the last 3 centuries are a blip.

Are you aware that before the British turned up, Bengal centred in Dhaka was probably the richest and one of the most technologically advanced regions on this planet? Pakistan was pretty poor since Bengal contributed 50% of Mughal GDP with only around 20-22% of the population. S Asia has...

Thanks for that info and so only 2 lines will make it quicker and much cheaper than Dhaka metro. I think if they start work asap then the two lines can be built before all the ones for Dhaka metro is complete by circa 2035.

I know exactly what you mean and there is no way that they would have allowed BD to develop even probably up to "middle-income" level without the shield of rising China and now India to a lesser extent. BD can never accept the loss of it's culture based on Islam and being any kind of US/Western...

Dude, you need to stop talking nonsense if you want to be taken seriously! BD cannot manipulate its economic data as PPP matches with nominal figures. PPP as you know is not compiled by the government but can be sampled by IMF etc using the relative prices of goods between countries. Also it...

We need to aim to get the first line up and running before 2030. Can anyone with more knowledge give an idea how many lines Chattogram will need? Looking at the map below, maybe 3 could suffice - 1 North to South going down to the airport, 1 West to East and the last West to NorthEast.

What you say carries the least risk on probability but it means that BD has to be pushed around by a dysfunctional 2-bit dictatorship like Myanmar. Although I am not happy with their weak defence posture, I want BAL to stay in power for another 10-15 years to complete the transformation of...

You have a point but BD economy is no longer in any danger. When the government approached IMF months ago, this was not clear then. I am not sure whether it was really possible for BD government to cancel at this late stage of the negotiations. BD economy may power ahead at 8% GDP growth this...

Did we even need a report published to state the obvious? BD forex reserves are increasing, it exports and remittances are up and imports down. It is set to again surpass the 40 billion US dollar forex level by middle of this year.

This is great and BD government should provide major support to make this another billion US dollar export industry.

Not at all ambitious. BD exports, remittances and domestic markets are holding up strongly - I would not be surprised if BD even hits 8% GDP growth this year or next.

Why would BD do that? India and BD have close relations and they just want to trade in order to develop their economies.
