Yup we prefer to do well in corruption perception index, institutional credibility indices first and foremost....rather than staying atrocious there and then putting out whatever garbage is needed to feel better.
Better to have worse development with good credibility than better development with bad credibility.....because truth is always better than untruth.
All other countries get this, but Bangladesh has an attitude problem from the onset of its formation obviously. It shows up all the more in full 3rd party neutral venue where nothing can be hidden/shielded. 0 medals in Asian games is one recent example. BD ppl socioeconomic performance in developed countries is another. Not to mention the energy they consume or the patents they file internationally. These are numbers that cannot be faked....and the dissonance they show with BD claimed development is astounding.....just like the household income reducing thanks to laundered inflation (whereas growth is claimed as x,y,z) as MA Taslim points out:

These are very long standing problems, and yet, very little has been done to improve the quality of the services provided by BBS.
The government is perhaps more worried about the embarrassment an efficient BBS can do to its image with correct data than the harm an inefficient BBS can inflict on policy making and, the economy with incorrect data.
Again sadly you are comparing a GDDS country (you) to SDDS one.
First achieve the same statistical standards before trying to compare who is lagging.
