On track to take silver medal
Bangladesh shows healthy growth

The news will come as somewhat of a shock to sceptics who like to portray the economy to be in dire straits. American news organisation Bloomberg has forecasted that Bangladesh will post the second highest growth rates globally. In a survey that covered 193 countries, our economy is slated to grow 6.6 percent tying with that of Vietnam. That we are managing to grow in the midst of a global recession that has acted to contract much more advanced economies than ours, for instance, oil-rich Venezuela which will probably see its economy contract by as much as 3.3 percent, there is reason to rejoice.

The accolades are coming in from institutions such as the World Bank which has termed the economy as very stable. Yet there are reasons not to be over-joyous. Yes, we have made tremendous gains on social and economic fronts, but the major Achilles heels are yet to be addressed: infrastructure and reducing the cost of doing business; cutting down on bureaucratic red tape to foster business operations. These have been nagging problems for some years now and are perhaps one of the reasons why the economy has not been able to post much higher growth rates.

All in all, the outlook is good, but as stated before, prioritisation of projects related to energy and communication is a must. That coupled with easier credit and simplification of rules and procedures can only aid our economy to take off and join the ranks of economic powerhouses in the region.
