Confused!

Which one we believe..?? @kurup

The data by world bank , afaik , is for the year 2012 and not for the fiscal year 2012-2013 .

In 2012 , we grew by 3.2% according to world bank and in fiscal year 2012-2013 , we grew by 3.986% .

At close to 7% growth it looks like we will reach the Government's target of $4000 per capita (PPP$ 8000) before the stated target time of 2016.

It is wonderful to have a Government leading the nation that actually understated their goal!

The data is correct . According to world bank , India had the slowest growth rate in south asia at 3.2% for 2012 .

Hopefully growth picks up in India! Maybe if you get Modi he will do what MR did for Sri Lanka.

Yes, the economy of BD is increasing. You can buy t-shirt made in BD here in Europe.

Yep we are doing well, but can do better. We need to target a steady growth rate of 7.5% for at least 10 years, we need to achieve way more then what we have. In fact our currency is appreciating against a basket of currencies such as the dollar, so the Bangladesh Bank is consistently buying greenbacks to regulate the exchange rate, they are sitting on a pile of virtual dollars.

In the near future with diversification in our industry with more manufactured goods and services, I think we will be one of the star performers. Wish us luck.
