Bangladesh, once a ‘hopeless’ economy, is leaving Pakistan behind

[Michael Corleone]

Congratulations to Bangladesh, I hope they keep this up and eliminate poverty completely, having said that Pakistan and Bangladesh are not in a same boat by any imaginations. Even a brain dead economist should know better, one nation has been facing wars for decades, while other is relatively safe, obviously the one facing the wars will fare worse in every category.... Once again, not sure Why indians have to match everything up with Pakistan.



Pakistan is about 4 times smaller than India. India is approximately 3,287,263 sq km, while Pakistan is approximately 796,095 sq km. What exactly are you comparing here?

Definitely not the geography

no when i say Bangladesh is dickless I dont mean you dont have nukes, im saying your pathetic. If Rohingya crises taught you one thing, it was how useless you are

Pakistan may have had a agreement with the U.S for deployment of drones, but everytime the U.S tried to screw Pakistan it got paid back, they haven't lost thousands of soldiers and spent a trillion+ in Afghanistan for nothing.

And Yes Pakistan is a strategically important country, its building up its nuclear arsenal, it has a top 20 significant military, its currently building up its infrastructure and is in the process of implementing its plans alongside allies like China, Turkey etc for the future

Bangladesh is pants compared to this

Well let’s say you’re right, why don’t y’all use your influence!? Instead last time I checked y’all are selling fighters to the same child killing regime.

Drone strikes during Obama era was controversial because it breached Pakistan’s sovereignty

Yes, great military indeed... but still with 20 hrs a day of load shedding, terrorist problems, a pain in the *** with the neighbor, poverty etc... if that’s what you call success then congrats
Pfft

Listen douchebag, nobody cares about a crappy country called Bangladesh. Not some unimportant country.

Pakistan is a way better country than Bangladesh.

Now go to a Bengali forum so you can rant over there.

What 2000 dollars per capita?
For 2018, BD is at 4,600 and Pakistan is at 5,700 dollars.
According to IMF, by 2023 BD will be at 6,700 dollars and Pakistan at 7,200 dollars.

I'm talking last actual confirmed data for BD compared to Pakistan, not the "estimates".....see those shaded cells for BD?:

https://www.imf.org/external/pubs/f...=country&ds=.&br=1&c=513,564&s=PPPPC&grp=0&a=

Last confirmed data for both was 1400 dollars of difference in same year (though last non-estimates for both is about 2000 dollars )....but still you get the overall point. You are THAT behind with all of that happening in Pakistan. QED: you suck!

Just watch as more and more inflation gets laundered too in your nominal figures:

and precisely where you left the conversation there in butthurt

BD started independence 24 years behind Pakistan duh.
BD is already ahead in nominal and a little more time to be ahead to beat Pakistan in PPP.
An independent Pakistan chose freely it's destiny and so cannot blame anyone but itself
for It's economic condition.

 

[Nilgiri]

BD started independence 24 years behind Pakistan duh.

You did lot better under Pakistan in lot of ways than you did after.....so much for your feelz-based independence lol....just like the 1000000000000% GDP extraction from poor BD and 3 million genocide in a few short months in poor BD again!

Oh wait, opinions laundering as facts swings both ways? Darn! BBS inflation shenanigans might have some solid competition!

So tell me do you believe BBS when it says household income has declined atrociously in BD over the last 6 years or so?

https://opinion.bdnews24.com/2017/12/18/where-did-the-benefits-of-economic-growth-disappear/

or is BBS flawed/wrong/non-credible/blah here suddenly?

You believe BBS when it suits you and not believe them when it does not lol.
I believe them on both this and GDP data, and that makes me consistent and not a butt-hurt opportunist like you.

 

[Nilgiri]

You believe BBS when it suits you and not believe them when it does not lol.

I don't believe them on jack crap lol. What if the household income declined even more? Who is to say with their crap lol, from your own Economic adviser:

No less a person than the Economic Adviser to the Prime Minister has expressed his dissatisfaction about the qualifications of the BBS staff and the quality of their work. These are very long standing problems, and yet, very little has been done to improve the quality of the services provided by BBS.

Wait.....this adviser is agreeing with....shock....Nilgiri himself?

I believe them on both this and GDP data, and that makes me consistent and not a butt-hurt opportunist like you.

So you are saying that ALL that supposed growth went to just the very super rich elite and the masses had their calorie intake REDUCE and their household income purchasing power DECLINE?

 

[bluesky]

I agree to some extent.
At the least BD should arm over next 2-3 years and capture Rohingya land. BD should also bomb the crap out of the Barman savages at the least.

To do so, BD needs to arm the Rohingyas and when it does so, there is every possibility that the Rohingyas will be radicalized by the influence of their own faith matter as well as by our local fanatics. Rohingya patriots will then be regarded as Jihadists, fanatics and terrorists internationally. USA, India and China will be alarmed, and there will be an anti-terrorist movement at the insistence of MM.

To me, there seems very little prospect of solving the Rohingya issue except through peaceful means. Another option is certainly to attack MM, capture northern Arakan by a military intervention and annex it. But, the present govt seems does not want to relinquish any authority to the military. But, is not also true that our military is also weak?

 

[Cookie Monster]

We should not fall for the flattering words from the Indian journalists and media.Why they are so obsessed of comparing Bangladesh with Pakistan? Why they are not comparing Bangladesh with India? In many economic and developmental indicators, Bangladesh is ahead of India.These Indian media and journalists are also the one who project Bangladesh as a Jihadi country hell bent on infiltrating India and creating chaos there.We should not pay any attention to these two headed snake.

Let's ignore these idiots who try dividing ppl. Pakistanis(sane ones) are not jealous of Bangladesh's progress...in fact it's good for u guys. In my opinion all countries/ppl should prosper.

...the only lesson here should be that Pakistani ppl should open their eyes and grill their a**hole/'corrupt to core' leaders. If Bangladesh can achieve progress at such fast pace, China can, South Korea can...then so can Pak.

Same with Bangladeshi people. We take a delight when we hear any good news coming from Pakistan.

Dude, I have a job and a life and do not have time to spend hours and hours analysing data.

BD is the fastest growing 100 million+ population economy in the world and your fabled GDP per capita PPP statistics confirm that. You keep referring to per capita PPP as being the only reliable measure but ignore it when it comes to BD.

You are by far the biggest butt-hurt loser at BD on this forum. BD must be doing something right if butt-hurt Pakistanis and Indians keep attacking it.

Your butt-hurt will just keep increasing as projects like Padma Bridge, Padma Bridge railway, Payra Coal Power plant, Roopur nuclear Power Plant, Matarbari coal and port project and the other myriad of projects like the Dhaka Metro rail(as part of the 40 billion US dollar RSTP 2016-2035 plan in partnership with Japan's JICA) get completed one after another. After nearly 50 years BD has come out of the unfortunate situation of one colonisaton(Uk) after another(Pakistan) and is showing that a real nation state in S Asia can develop like the former E Asian "Tiger" economies.

PS - If you had actually bothered or had the smarts to look at reasons why household income has stagnated during 2010-2016, then all we needed to look at is the minimum wage for garment workers:

TK 3,000 - 2010
Tk 5,300 - 2014

As you can see that between 2010-2014 there was a 76% increase. Although this is higher than the inflation rate there was no increase in the intervening years and so households suffered a spending squeeze between 2011-2013. BD needs to move to look at automatic increases in the salaries of garment workers of say inflation + 3% in order to better redistribute the increase in GDP which is nearing 8% this year.

BD military is currently too weak to defend BD against MAF and neutralise the Barman artillery and rockets that could hit Cox's Bazaar area and attack BD troops in the field.

What is needed is around 2-3 squadrons of high performance strike fighters(J-10C/SU-30SME) and a medium-range air-defence system(LY-80E) that will cover vital military, economic(Chittagong port) and civilian populations(Chittagong, Cox's Bazaar, Dhaka etc). Also BA needs to be have all the equipment that it needs to carry out a quick operation in Arakan with little casualties.
My guess is that this equipment will be ready by 2021 or so at the rate procurement's seem to be going - remember that the first of the 4000+ tonne next-generation frigates will be in service by then and that will have SAM systems that can turn whole areas of Arakan into virtual no-fly zones for MAF. The only question is does BD have the determination to impose it's will on that savage and beastly entity and teach it it's place right at the bottom of the region?

 

[Kandari-Hushiyaar]

Yeah, you got slapped and you took it like hijrah's

Admittedly you did whine and cry a bit

Shut up. No other country lost as much as territory as your army did in last 50 years. Chorer Ma er boro Gola or what you say in Urdu? Ulta chor kotwal ko daate?
