IMF Official Projection 2019: Bangladesh economy is overtaking Pakistan economy(Nominal) (9.04.2019)

[American Pakistani]

Honestly speaking that was bound to happen due to several factors.

Bangladeshis had very positive attitude and aim to beat Pakistan economically. I always heard Pakistanis saying, India is a very large country and we are very small country so we have no comparison. Never heard such comments in Bangladesh.

Several other factors involved, like WOT, corruption, security, western interests in destabilizing Pakistan due to nukes, etc.

Congrats to Bangladesh and good luck to Pakistan. I also believe if Bangladesh set an aim to beat India, they can achieve it in matter of 3 to 5 decades.

alternative arrangement

Yep, just like Sri Lanka and Venezuela :/

Pakistan has base strengths

Like military capability
Strategic position
Numerous as yet untapped resources

For the muslim world in the future Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, indonesia, Egypt etc are all VITAL

Bangladesh is nothing its a big strategic nothing

Its militarily incapable,
Strategically useless
Dependent on the goodwill of neighbours to not humiliate you
Lacking in land and resources
Your a vassal state that cant afford step out of line

You had economic stability for a short term this does not change Bangladesh or its standing

don't be mad

Dude, you sound like a broken record.

BD has ENORMOUS strengths.

Number 1. is that it is homogenous.
Number 2. is that it has political stability.
Number 3. is that it has extremely low debt.

These are the 3 key ingredients that the East Asian "Tigers" had to grow into 1st world countries and what BD is currently doing. You simply have no understanding of what is happening in BD right now - a homogenous country under long-term political stability is racing towards middle-income status within one generation.

PS - Pakistan even had USA droning away killing it's own citizens. So think carefully before you use the world humiliation.

 

[PAKISTANFOREVER]

literally look around at the venues where China provided "investment" in the Indian Ocean Region, every country is reeling with debt which they cant pay, even Malaysia!!
And if u will say that "pakistan ka case alag hai", then i would say "har ladke ko uska katne se pehele lagta hai ki uski bandi alag hai"
And its really not the indian jealousy in me that speaking, honestly.
Time and again i get surprised that Pak members still believe that its all investment and not loans when all the instances prove otherwise.

You expect us to believe a member of the race who calls for death and destruction of the Pakistani race and nation????..........

So now we are also to believe that China helped Pakistan become a nuclear weapons state to bankrupt us??????....
Chinese helping Pakistan develop the JF-17 says otherwise.......

Yep, just like Sri Lanka and Venezuela :/

Because the Chinese helped Sri-lanka and Venezuela become nuclear weapons state........

No luck lah, the size differences is quite large unless India balkanized on the way. Bangladesh should set aim against country like South Korean or Japan

Malaysia, Indonesia is doing better economically than Bd altough they are not homogenous in population and had rather large debt.

Malaysia, Indonesia is doing better economically than Bd altough they are not homogenous in population and had rather large debt.

Both countries had become independent decades before BD. Remember BD started from pretty much zero in 1971.
Having low debt helps as it means more revenue for development expenditure.
Malaysia is doing better than Indonesia as it is more homogenous.

We got the americans back by killing their soldiers in afghanistan via our proxies, the Afghan Taliban....................trump and the american generals kept bitching about this.....

This just measurement in realtime US Dollar value against Pak rupee, meanwhile Pakistan economy is working on Rupee in which the economy still growing albeit at much lower pace compared to Bangladesh. As i can see, Pakistan just starting to leaving their old habit to appreciate Rupee value forcefully against US dollar at cost of their monetary reserve. In which causing the nominal GDP of Pakistan decreasing compared to years before in US dollar vallue. At the same time Bangladesh with their much healthier current account ballance is still capable and afford to fixed rated or mix control their Taka against US dollar, they also had less import in many sector compared to Pakistan in which creating a less burden on their fiscal (like energy (oil, coal and gas), severe restriction on Auto import, and so on).

2018 GDP of Pakistan was measured considering 1 USD = 108 Pak Rupee when actual market value was 128-130 Pak Rupee.

It just showed artificially higher value for GDP in 2018 but not in 2019 when actual conversion rate in considered. Last 2 year Pakistan has kept the GDP high artificially.

To both of these, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but i don't necessarily think that's the complete case here. Regardless of the value of the rupee, the value of a product which has been produced, doesn't just automatically decrease, just because a currency weakens. GDP shows the over all value of an economy, rupee fluctuation shouldn't have that much of an effect.

These things will only push you so far

South Asia is useless and mostly EVERYTHING is on par across south asia

Bangladesh is still a 3rd world shit hole with numerous poor

You have political stability in a one party state

Your homogenous but so what

Debt is indeed important


But your one party state is eroding democracy
You are dependent on your neighbours good will
If Burma kills more bengalis AGAIN
And india supports burma AGAIN
then what does Bangladesh do?

You can do NOTHING!!!

You have no independence you are dependent on india

This makes you a vassal


Are you suddenly going to become independent?
Be able to defend yourself?
Keep the sea at bay?
Reduce your population in your overcrowded land

What importance are you to the world or MUSLIM WORLD

comparatively strategic nothing This is what Bangladesh is

USA was indeed droning Pakistan
Today USA having spent a TRILLION losing thousands of U.S soldiers is asking Pakistan for help to negotiate with the Taliban

That is Pakistan DEFENDING its interests against a superpower
We did the same against the USA
When india lost 45 soldiers in pulwama and got a itchy ***, it tried to act big
Only for Pakistan to slap it back to size

That you fish eating little monkey is PAKISTAN DEFENDING ITS INTERESTS

Stop, dont compare your worthless nation to Pakistan
You will know your place soon enough

Lol, it should be. Indonesia in 1970 got less GDP than Pakistan and comparable to East Pakistan so the start in 1971 should be not much in differences, but today we are three or four times larger than you

Now you are trolling. It has been discussed to death that US drone strikes inside FATA was authorized secretly by Pakistan. Also to mention is FATA was not integrated part back thn, it was controlled directly by Islamabad.

It just the time when IMF made the projection and adjust that with the current exchange rates. You can look at Indonesia GDP history we got slightly decreasing in US dollar value 2012 to 2014 period, but in Rupiah we still growing healthily at 5 percentage rates annually. At the time Rupiah got devalued by large margin against US dollar

Pakistan didn't do shit. The Afghan taliban were ignored by Pakistan at best and worst.

The Afghan taliban do not, and never have needed Pakistan's help. They have $800 million dollars of opium profits every year to fund their insurgency.

Pakistan cannot and should not allow the Afghan taliban to come to power. They're as much of a threat as an anti-Pakistan/pro-India government in Kabul. Never forget, they threatened to go to war against Pakistan, during their rule, when Pakistan demanded they recognize the Durand line.

I see it this way. An item getting sold back then was 100 rupees, it is 110 rupee now but $back then was 100 rupee but now is 146. Maybe the economy increased in rupee terms but shrunk in $ terms.

We Pakistanis have to open eyes and look for country's benefit, else I'm afraid even Afghanistan will surpass us. We were fooled by politicians who told us India is bigger we are smaller so no comparison, very very stupid and negative thought. Not just politicians, we people are equally responsible.
