And you know better than IMF, World Bank, ADB etc?

Say what you want about AL but they have turned BD into the fastest growing large economy in the world.

Economic fundamentals are extremely strong - low debt to gdp ratio, high infrastructure spending and political stability.

BD industry in sectors like Pharma, IT and Electronics is now becoming good enough that it has passed the test in developed markets like USA, EU and Japan. After consolidating and dominating in the BD home market, they are set for an export surge in the 2020s - it takes time to get to this stage.

Keep up with trying to talk BD down as the reality will play otherwise.

If BNP was in power for 10 years and if all BAL morons was in jail Bd will achive lot more as well. Current economic growth is all because of normal bd ppl nothing to with BAL. All BAL is doing making it worse.

No one is giving credit to BBS. We are an ungrateful lot.

The aforementioned shortfalls are negated by the extremely workaholic folks at BBS. Their high productivity contributes 2-3% economic growth.
No other country has achieved such growth with stagnant private sector investment.

This goes on to show how important it is to have good relations with neighbouring countries especially the ones that are multiple times powerful and larger than ones country.
Bangladesh has had good relations with India which allowed them to focus on development rather than on security and borders which saved millions of dollars for them.

Secure your borders. That's all I'm gonna say. ;)

Ha ha ha :lol:

Yes the Indians already put barbed wire fencing everywhere on the border, thinking the exact same thing. So we're good for now.:enjoy:

What Bangladesh needs right now are night vision equipment and heat-sensitive infrared cameras given to the border guards so they can patrol effectively both day and night. Electric bikes/quadrunners and Electric-powertrain armored cars (like OTOKAR makes) too, if we can get them. ;)

Army and Navy have these equipment, it is time we give these to the Border Guards.

Having good relations is one thing and surrendering is sovereignty is a completely different ball game.
