No brainer... this is the organisation to join, not Brics. Losing import tax revenue is a concern given BDs low tax to GDP ratio, but lets keep a clear head and take a long term view. Openly trading with our immediate neighbours with lower cost and bureaucracy in the long run will bring more...

Indian foreign tourist by numbers..... the so called foreign tourists are basically naturalised citizens of indian origin. The biggest actual foreign tourists are BDs to india. https://www.statista.com/statistics/207005/foreign-tourist-arrivals-in-india-by-source-country/

Imagine the level of insecurity in oneself and in ones country to adopt a name like that to describe himself. Better let the lunatic scream in his own personal echochamber.... best response from BDs would be to completely ignore him

BDs never thought it, Hasina and BAL did. It is our misfortune that the two are different

As with any project assess it. If the return on investment is good proceed. What is clear is that the chinese company thinks it is a good idea from their perspective, we need to ensure it is from ours.

BDs focus really should be RCEP, its literally on our doorstep and will give us access to the most lucrative trading block in the region. Brics is a disparate group of countries that is slowly forming a vision with the Brics bank being the first thing to which we have joined. Unless it forms...

This is true.... the optics lend to perception of failure.... but BD only expressed interest literally weeks ago hence by belief.

No one blocked BD inclusion. BD only expressed an interest to join only a couple of months ago. Those who were accepted expressed interest years ago. I suspect BDs name did not come up in this round.

The desperation is palpable...

No hostility you say..... but no compulsion in imposing governments against the ppls wishes... curious

Hindutva unchecked is an existential threat to BD. There should be no illusion about hindutva.... there is no difference between it and the indians in general as one can see the total lack of any hindu voice against the accelerating total marginalisation of muslims in india. BD has to play...

Monkeys bleeting is never taken seriously by the organ grinder.

I dont think you fully understand what i am saying.

Even without the war i dont think there is any chance of BD buying jets from russia. Chinese offering are cheaper, western platform qualitatively better.

In some respect your points are valid. But in this case all that is involved is is filling and preparing grounds, establishing utility lines and road network. Many many BD firms can take care of this. At the very least open tender should have issued with tight timelines. The chinese firm...

I do not have issues with china but this is not good. Public sector projects should be open for all to bid on. There should transparency. BD firms possibly has missed out here.

Cute....Why would not I ? The increase was as a result of increase in remittances of earlier eid. The overall balance fell back, but last year eid bump was not enough to arrest the negative slide. BD reserve slide was as a result of external supply side shocks. The issues have passed and...

Excellent....more MFS...more ease of doing business ...more transparency....more tax revenue....greater economic activity....less black money....transition of informal economy into a formal one This is tech compensating for institutional, fiscal and regulatory weakness. Good news.

The situation is serious but far from critical. here is link to see the month to month state of reserves. Adoption of BPM6 methodology where medium/long term liabilities are excluded are also shown. The gradual trend in deteriorating reserves since Jan 2022 was halted in June 2023. I think...
