    China‘s ministry of defense says it ‘reserves the right’ to deal with ‘similar situations’ after US jets shoot down suspected spy balloon

    I am not so sure about that. There are two others flying over south america as well. Not sure what the chinese plan was... were they going to recover it over international water?

    GDP growth in FY22 reaches 7.10pc, per capita income $2,793

    Not really.... everyone has some level of political bias and sometimes they become over zealous. GOB tax revenue is below 10% of the GDP and that is the reflection of their influence in the overall economy. The remittances we have as a country are not the governments to spend as they choose...

    GDP growth in FY22 reaches 7.10pc, per capita income $2,793

    In defense of BAL minister which I hate doing..... the fact is fertiliser is bought in global market and sold at a loss in BD. This subsidised scenario can not be maintained when the govt has run out of USD. If it could, it would have bought it in Taka and this would not have been an issue...

    Bangladesh’s exports rise 5.89pc to $5.13b in January

    Very good. I did think figures when $5bn was crossed perhaps occurred as a result of delayed payments clearing coincidentally inflating the numbers. Brings into focus the current IMF loan... in all honesty its irrelevance in the overall scheme of things as BD economy keeps expanding. However...

    China‘s ministry of defense says it ‘reserves the right’ to deal with ‘similar situations’ after US jets shoot down suspected spy balloon

    Could it not have been bought down safely and examined? If US did that it could publicly expose chinese espionage. Seems like US did not wish to escalate...counterintuitively blowing it up creates the least fuss for both US and China

    BD economic crisis is more domestic than global: Minister of State for Planning

    A bit of introspection here is very good to see. The impact of external supply side shock that has enveloped BD is given. It has impacted every non-petrodollar economy globally. However the mess in our banking sector with huge non performing debt is a political crisis at it very root which is...

    Bangladesh to allow making motorcycles up to 500 cc but ban local use above 165 cc ones

    Its bizzare... no article explains why.... must be some kind of monopoly interest seeking to maintain status quo. Road safety anecdotally hardly looks like a priority for government and as fuel subsidies are being reduced again seems like a minor issue. Could it be environmental.... well slap...

    Bangladesh to allow making motorcycles up to 500 cc but ban local use above 165 cc ones

    Can someone detail the issues here. What is the problem with higher performance bikes? Why does the government feel the need to regulate here. If someone want to build higher performance bikes and someone wants to buy it whats the problem?

    Consumers should pay actual costs to get gas, electricity: PM Hasina

    No choice here.....BD tax net is far to low for the government to balance the book. Tax receipt has to rise, subsidies in general has to fall and become more targeted. It will hurt the general public but when all is said and done its unsustainable.

    Bangladesh exports to India reach $1b in H1 FY23

    The trade is unbalanced at over 10:1 in favor of india. Hardly worth starting a new tread over. With china its worse but they are investing incountry so some of the trade imbalance is somewhat counterbalanced. India is a big market and we need to engage, however there is a geo-strategic angle...

    Sheikh Hasina’s China policy harmful for India and Bangladesh: Opposition leader Nitai Roy Chowdhury

    BAL Jamat union has precedence BD interest should be the only priority. There are many BAL supporters here....perhaps just fair weather supporters but yet to see any BNP supporters here. Who are they? BNP is neither anti hindu nor anti india but traditionally they have not been pro india...

    Russia wants loan instalments, Bangladesh wants time

    They need to accept the repayment in USD and have to come and collect the cash from Dhaka as they have been cut of from Swift. Ready some big suitcases. Alternatively BD can give USD to china via swift, they can pass it on via CIPS to russia in roubles if necessary. The cost of these...
