Why don't you actually wait and see what is done past some optics study before blah blahing about investment. Such studies are obviously a part 2 of the BBIN bloc forming....if you understand an iota of how scarce capital investment liquidity is prioritised when building up capacities in the region. What gets implemented in the end is anyone's guess.
The trade deficit (especially the composition of it) between India and BD tells its own story about a total lack of BD industry past sweatshop knickers. Oh and prematurely celebrating making 2 units of steel compared to 0 before when you should be making in 50+ region given your population is pretty ridiculous.
Oh and the "steadily richer"? Don't make us laugh:

This is the magic "dynamism" behind your "competitive edge" (along with LDC quota):
“Bangladeshi workers earn $67 where workers in India and Cambodia get $168 and $170 respectively.”
i.e you are willing to be sweatshop sheep earning a tiny pittance far more than anyone else. But hey your elite need to have their premium (that they dont pass to the median Abdul) so they can spend on BBS "steadily richer" claims.
What's BD saying on this issue (for even its base RMG)?

Then show me the growth of any value added non-RMG exports from BD....lets ignore how puny the amount is in the first place. With the BD input tax system as it is now (forget quality of human capital and myriad of other issues for a moment), there will be next to no broad base sustained development in the area.
Everything flatlines hard (after posting a few years of high growth number because of extremely low base effect) be it ICT, pharma, biotech, light industry you name it...(esp as far as exports go, just check Walton projection with reality now and what they have for say motorcycles even within BD market itself).
Fact check for everyone reading this:

Remember this is only for goods too. When you add services it gets even worse for BD and better for India (India adds another 160 billion USD to this picture, BD only about 3 billion).
Like I said to this twit (who ran away with pain in his rear), dont be so mad about what India is doing today that you will never see in your lifetime (and who knows if beyond that too) from BD:

Our competitors and outlook concern countries completely different to BD. We will however continue to engage with BD to seek out how to use it as footstool/shoewipe rug wherever possible through whatever optics are needed (i.e take advantage of BD infantile nature).
