Growth Report on Bangladesh, WB

World Bank, Dhaka office publishes its growth report 'Towards Accelerated, Inclusive and Sustainable Growth in Bangladesh'. The main points of the reports are as follows:

• In spite of global shocks and natural crises, Bangladesh’s economy has maintained a healthy 6%-plus plus growth rate in past years and significantly reduced the number of absolute poor. 
• Bangladesh now needs to accelerate GDP growth to 7.5% to 8% and sustain 8% remittance growth to reach its aspiration of middle-income country status by next decade. 
• The distribution of economic opportunities across all population groups, and particularly those at the bottom, needs to improve in order to make middle-income country status meaningful.
