Do not please send 2008 poverty data for BD. There is no contest that the BD poverty rate is already below 12.9%. In case of Myanmar with a very small $62 billion GDP, the poverty remains same at 26% today as it was in 2008. I am surprised , but please do not get discouraged by the BD success. You must strive hard to catch BD poverty rate. Another 50 years to do that is not a long time. See below the ADB figures:
