The Fall And Stunning Rise Of Bangladesh
Bangladesh, located in South Asia between India and Myanmar along the Bay of Bengal coast, initiated an economic renaissance in the late 1970s. Under President Z. Rahman's leadership, the country embraced free markets and foreign investments, setting the stage for its remarkable economic ascent.
Fast-forward to today, Bangladesh stands as the second-largest economy in South Asia, experiencing extraordinary growth. Its GDP per capita began a significant climb in 2005, outpacing Pakistan and maintaining a consistent GDP growth rate of 6.4% from 2016 to 2021, despite global challenges like the 2019 pandemic. In 2021, Bangladesh posted a remarkable GDP growth rate of 7.1%.
Key sectors driving Bangladesh's economic growth include agriculture, the garment industry, and the services sector. While agriculture historically employed nearly half of the workforce, its contribution to GDP has diminished to around 11%. In contrast, the garment industry, constituting 84% of total exports, has seen explosive growth. The services sector, including technology and freelancing, is also gaining prominence.
Bangladesh's transformation is not a result of chance but a result of strategic decisions and policy frameworks. The government shifted its focus from agriculture to industry and services through successive five-year plans dating back to 1973, promoting export-oriented manufacturing, agricultural diversification, and information technology-based entrepreneurship. These plans also encouraged private sector engagement and investment in infrastructure mega-projects.
International investment and remittances have played crucial roles in Bangladesh's economic success, particularly in the growth of the ready-made garment industry.
Challenges, such as rising inflation, energy shortages, balance of payments deficits, and revenue shortfalls, persist. Nevertheless, Bangladesh's potential to achieve the milestone of a trillion-dollar economy by 2030-2040 is gaining recognition.
In conclusion, Bangladesh's remarkable economic journey, driven by strategic decisions, policy frameworks, and a relentless pursuit of economic diversification and stability, offers valuable lessons for emerging economies seeking sustainable growth and prosperity. The country's future appears promising as it continues its ascent towards becoming a trillion-dollar economy.
