Open Discussion: Myanmar and Bangladesh Armed Force

[alaungphaya]

Look at multidimensional poverty index which takes into account consumer electronics as well, not some price of beer or a piece of loaf which we dont consume.

Yeah, I'm sure we outpaced you in PPP adjusted per capita GDP because of bread and beer. Clown.

You are absolutely right...

Read it top to bottom. No production numbers anywhere of anything important. Next!

Sure... Typical bongo delusional thinking. If PPP included rats and brown water, BD would be in the top 10.

Not after the slum of the oil market.

You sure about that, champ?

At the end of the day, our economy is actually diverse. We can actually attract foreign investment and expertise. That is why we are producing Nissan cars and Heineken beer. No one is ever going to buy your fridges and push bikes.

We know all of it, and we seen it before. MM is the infant in this big game of affairs. We will see in 5 years from now.

BD is not interested in Heiniken Beer neither Nissan cars. BD is going into consumer electronics at this moment. People are busy building own brands.

Do you think that you will be able to export your crap? You think you can enter the consumer electronics market?

Just shut up and go make me some underwear.[/QUOTE]
Idiot, BD is a 143 billion dollar consumer goods market. We need to fulfill the local first.

Why dont you quote me physical production numbers from that article....instead of repeating yourself?

Lets compare just TV's for instance:

An average article about India TV market:

http://www.business-standard.com/ar...ales-to-overtake-crt-sets-115062700716_1.html

The best article I could find about Bangladesh TV market (with actual numbers):

http://www.newstoday.com.bd/?option=details&news_id=2372844&date=2014-03-16

About 2 lakh television sets are imported every year. In the fiscal of 2012-2013, about 14 lakh and 44 thousand television sets were sold in the country, and in the first six months of current fiscal about 7 lakh and 38 thousands were sold.

So it looks like we consume more than 10 times the number of TVs annually (with 7 times the population) that you do (and probably much better quality TVs too - if you give the revenue of TVs sold in Bangladesh which this article does not have...we can compare that).

Our TV household penetration rate is more than 70% (167m out of 234m households own a TV):

http://www.tamindia.com/ref_pdf/Overview_Universe_Update_2015.pdf

Can you tell me what this rate is for Bangladesh today?

It was under 38% in 2013: http://www.unicef.org/bangladesh/MICS_Final_21062015_Low.pdf

Lets compare industry by industry to show you just how puny your consumption is in any industrial product.

3200 USD PPP, about half of India's. Let's illustrate how it manifests. It will be a sobering lesson for you.

3 time poor..? LOL
eg
GDP of Sri Lankar - USD $ 80 B
GDP of BD - USD $ over 200 B

Bangladesh-

Bangladesh's economy has grown roughly 6% per year since 1996 despite political instability, poor infrastructure, corruption, insufficient power supplies, slow implementation of economic reforms, and the 2008-09 global financial crisis and recession. Although more than half of GDP is generated through the service sector, almost half of Bangladeshis are employed in the agriculture sector with rice as the single-most-important product. Garment exports, the backbone of Bangladesh’s industrial sector and 80% of total exports, surpassed $21 billion last year, 18% of GDP. The sector has remained resilient in recent years amidst a series of factory accidents that have killed over 1,000 workers and crippling strikes that shut down virtually all economic activity. Steady garment export growth combined with remittances from overseas Bangladeshis, which totaled almost $15 billion and 13% of GDP IN 2013, are the largest contributors to Bangladesh’s current account surplus and record foreign exchange holdings.

Burma-

Since the transition to a civilian government in 2011, Burma has begun an economic overhaul aimed at attracting foreign investment and reintegrating into the global economy. Economic reforms have included establishing a managed float of the Burmese kyat in 2012, granting the Central Bank operational independence in July 2013, and enacting a new Anti-corruption Law in September 2013. The government’s commitment to reform, and the subsequent easing of most Western sanctions, has begun to pay dividends. The economy accelerated in 2012 and 2013. And Burma’s abundant natural resources, young labor force, and proximity to Asia’s dynamic economies have attracted foreign investment in the energy sector, garment industry, information technology, and food and beverages. Foreign direct investment grew from US$1.9 billion in FY 2011 to US$2.7 billion in FY 2012. Despite these improvements, living standards have not improved for the majority of the people residing in rural areas. Burma remains one of the poorest countries in Asia - more than one-fourth of the country’s 60 million people live in poverty. The previous government’s isolationist policies and economic mismanagement have left Burma with poor infrastructure, endemic corruption, underdeveloped human resources, and inadequate access to capital, which will require a major commitment to reverse. The Burmese government has been slow to address impediments to economic development such as an opaque revenue collection system and antiquated banking system. Key benchmarks of sustained economic progress would include modernizing and opening the financial sector, increasing budget allocations for social services, and accelerating agricultural and land reforms.
