Why is metro rail construction costlier in Bangladesh?

[gslv mk3]

These infrastructure projects like bridges, power, metros, roads and railways are need to sustain and speed up economic growth. Some things will cost a little more now

Little more = 3.5 times. Hilarious !!!

 

[Nilgiri]

The loans are coming at very low(0.1%) to low(2%) interest rates. With the economic payback from the infrastructures they can easily be paid back.

Moron I am talking about the grand total loan size....it is way above what it should be given the liabilities JICA has baked into its consideration/analysis because of things like where BD ranks in corruption perception index and the LDC nature of BD.

To say anything JICA touches/involves itself with = 0 corruption inherently is complete fallacy....given BD govt acts as middle man and executor in so much on the ground, particularly its own involvement with any BD companies and their crooks (who are atrociously lacking quality human capital and experience adding to cost and corruption buffer yet again).

Simply quoting an interest rate to me means nothing because any lower ROI on such projects will take their own toll on both BD already junk credit rating, GDDS category by IMF, continued exclusion from the economist weekly appendix and most importantly the overall opportunity costs long term.

Neither is it likely BD will absorb any of this technology to try achieve its own economy of scale long term (given just how bad your companies are and your human capital development at this tier is and will be for forseeable future), it will remain a dependent abject pithole.

It takes real effort by your govt to keep your consumption this low per capita and preventing any real competing industries to the LDC quota RMG one for its convenience sake. Loan gravy trains I guess are one reason to indulge in such. But I guess they can throw some BBS shenanigans and optics your way ala BD STRONK....groupthink for groupthink sake, while the reality piles up behind it.

The work for Dhaka Metro Rail is going on at a fast pace. Upon completion, the new system is expected to solve the problem of congestion throughout the city. The photo was taken in the capital's Shewrapara on March 1, 2018. Photo: Prabir Das

What part of fastest growing 100 million+ population economy do you not understand?
As the severe BD infrastructure deficit, even by S Asian standards, is being remedied now, BD growth will go even higher.
No point even trying to compare your shambles of a "country" against the efficiency of a unitary state like BD.

This is one thing they don't understand. I am reminded of Billu who once asked what the difference between & 'bangladeshi engineering' ( ) was...

Where exactly? You need to do a lot of work to get to the present standards of other south Asian countries in the future, let alone catch up.

Ranking of countries by quality infrastructure in WEF reports might help.

There is no point in comparing a unitary 'LDC swamp' with a neighbouring country with 2X per capita GDP & better urban infrastructure...

Let us take the example of the Padma Bridge and the railway that will connect SW BD to the capital Dhaka.
This will provide fast road, rail, gas and telecommunications connectivity.
A region of 40+ million people will now be integrated with the rest of BD for the first time. A massive economic boom will start in the region lifting growth for the whole of BD - estimates place growth at an extra 0.5% a year over many years.
Another area is the gigantic power stations like 2.4GW Roopur nuclear power, 1.32GW Payra coal and 1.2GW Matabarai coal fired power station currently in the works. These will help enable BD to produce enough power to both provide enough power to it's own industries, and also to attract foreign companies to take advantage of uninterrupted and reliable power to produce goods in low-cost BD to supply both internally and export markets.

India has not been hampered by lack of infrastructure like BD has been and so improved infrastructure will not push up growth like it will in BD.

Thanks for admitting your pathetically low base effect. The large reason the economist still doesnt include you in the weekly appendix. The amount of data/papers IMF gathers and disseminates on BD (given its population) is yet another sad thing for BD, still extremely low and stagnant (want me to give you the number, it reads like the patents you file at USPTO). You consume a lot less per capita than even Pakistan (with all the conflict, military spending and low GCF it has had for decades now).

This all costs you at crucial time demographically and with window of RMG quota access appearing and nearing on horizon. Remember that 4% sustainable growth rate for BD projected by Harvard?

But you can have your BD stronk clinging to GDDS category "growth rate" like your force plan STRONK and "next MM plane will be shot down no questions asked" STRONK.....if it all makes you feel better.

While everyone else ignores you (low base effect = low actual amount of growth still) except maybe when they think a cpl seconds....whats this weird word on this for sale walmart cheap underwear?

@Aung Zaya

 

[UKBengali]

Yes, just one versus many that predict continued BD boom for decades to come. How pathetic you are desperate to cling onto one study from Harvard.

Pakistan - Again try to understand what is meant by "compound wealth".

Butt-hurt will increase as BD growth edges up to 8-9% a year next decade with all this infrastructure coming online. The wonders of what happens when you have a stable government and a real nation composed of one dominant ethnicity.

Why stop at 8 or 9 %, a GDDS country can push it to dbl digits easily....low base effect, low quality output data, worse frequency/consistency....and just reject the next ESCAP assessment on cue too (always in line with the ranking you score on corruption perception)...just take a page out of BBS whenever you can....and then squeal in pain and blame BNP/mullahs/hindus/zionists when it all collapses in a heap due to the ramping debt (with terrible ROI) + next to no transition to even one other basic legacy industry (slapping all kind of tariff on it because why diversify when RMG is the political and economic cash cow given the free LDC quotas on offer that you all are dependent on like crack addict).....even with this low level of foreign credit raising ability too (because of the junk rating you stuck with):

https://blogs.worldbank.org/opendata/are-south-asian-countries-sinking-debt-trap

Again no one really paying attention or cares (the economist certainly isnt lol). Yay for a tad more LDC quota underwear supply (collapsing factories and all) and ridiculously bad return on ROI (dhaka prices vs quality of living), paying for basic things through the nose (or just forking it out to India for basic healthcare),.....and half the nominal export per capita of even India, and tiny fraction of the FDI per capita....with all dat Walton projectioneering on an outdated revenue release.

This is your 'better urban infrastructure' in your shining example of urbanism, Bombay (I don't call it Mumbai - so shove it),

Sort of okay considering your Kanjoosi kind...

Horrid....

Unimaginable anywhere else...

Do you see the verbal diarrhoea coming out of his mouth now??

He is gone completely mental.....

The high price vs. India is due to the confluence of the following factors:

1. Massive corruption.
2. Lack of educated workforce. bngldsh has no notable tertiary education. They don’t even have civil engineers.
3. Lack of skilled labour. They don’t have welders, etc. so they can’t even build pillars. Instead they import them!

Places like Somalia and bngldsh have no reason to have these vanity projects other than to satisfy their egos.

...Google baba showed me these images when I typed 'Dhaka slums' in the search box...

Finding such photos aren't difficult given that nearly 60% of your 'kanjoosi' urban population lives in slums...

Dhaka didn't just rank among world's least livable cities, it scored lowest on infrastructure amongst the 10 least livable cities...

Shove that up yours... !!

Again no one really paying attention or cares

No one cared when they were getting slaughtered like cattle in a slaughterhouse...3 million dead...that's their claim not ours....

The only occasion in which the name Bangladesh comes up anywhere (let alone The Economist) is when some sweatshop collapses on their heads killing hundreds... Ah I forgot, Bangladeshi garments industry is 'high tech' with smart manufacturing and all......

why diversify when RMG is the political and economic cash cow given the free LDC quotas on offer that you all are dependent on like crack addict

Dude !!! Haven't you heard of billions of dollars of Walton white goods industry & great Bangladeshi motorcycle industry 'in which Indians simply can't compete'?? Or Bangladeshi pharma exports which 'is beating India in their own game' (while exporting products worth 1/200 of value of same exported by India) ?

At least we must admit that they are 'three decades ahead of India in smart manufacturing...'

tiny fraction of the FDI per capita..

But but but what about the 100 SEZs...??

The most gut wrenching pictures are available on India. Do we even bother searching it up? Couldn't give a flying f***.

Again, you're a very sad, sad person. You Indians take this place literally lmao, you're tagline is actually sad it shows how devoted you are.

Go get a day job.
