Economy of Bangladesh
INTRODUCTION
Economic development is the increase in the standard of living of a nation 's population with sustained growth from a simple, low-income economy to a modern, high-income economy.

Bangladesh is an economically developing country. We cannot develop our country because of some major economic barriers. Economic development of a country effected by many facts including political, economical, geographical, infrastructural, international economy system, scarcity of resources, Natural disaster, corruption, communication problem and so on. Because of these problems we are backward in economic situation. Every problem has a solution, so attempt to point out the problem and ensure the solution according the pattern of the problem.

Economic Growth and Development is what every country want for their wealth, but somehow still it is quite impossible for Less Economic Developed Countries, like Bangladesh, to gain economic growth and development, since there are many barriers to growth and development that hold back this developing country. Common examples of the challenges are Unemployment, Poverty cycle, Natural Hazards, Poor economic condition, less infrastructural development, Political factors and International financial barriers etc. These are basically the challenges that act as a hindrance to economic growth or economic development. As like as many poor countries Bangladesh is known to have a poor economic and political system and through these this country facing a variety of challenges to growth. It is known that like most developing countries, Bangladesh has lacking infrastructure even though it is important to economic growth. Infrastructure consists of the vital facilities and services. Natural hazards, international financial barriers are also responsible to drawback the economic development of Bangladesh. To be an economic developed country Bangladesh has to

    Although one of the world 's poorest and most densely populated countries, Bangladesh has made major strides to meet the food needs of its increasing population, through increased domestic production augmented by imports. The land is devoted mainly to rice and jute cultivation, although wheat production has increased in recent years; the country is largely self-sufficient in rice production. Nonetheless, an estimated 10% to 15% of the population faces serious nutritional risk. Bangladesh 's predominantly agricultural economy depends heavily on an erratic monsoonal cycle, with periodic flooding and drought. Although improving, infrastructure to support transportation, communications, and power supply is poorly developed. Bangladesh is limited in its reserves of coal and oil, and its industrial base is weak. The country 's main endowments include its vast human resource base, rich agricultural land, relatively abundant water, and substantial reserves of natural gas. Following the violent events of 1971 during the fight for independence, Bangladesh--with the help of large infusions of donor relief and development aid--slowly began to turn its attention to developing new industrial capacity and rehabilitating its economy. The static economic model adopted by its early leadership, however--including the nationalization of much of the industrial sector--resulted in inefficiency and economic stagnation. Beginning in late 1975, the government gradually gave greater scope to private sector participation in the economy, a pattern that has continued. A few state-owned enterprises have been privatized, but many, including major portions of the banking and jute sectors, remain under government control. Population growth, inefficiency in the public…

    I. Introduction GDP growth of Bangladesh has been 5 per cent and above in the past decade or so with increasing exports, imports and remittance. Ratio of total trade (exports plus imports) to GDP rose from 17.6 percent in 1990 to around 29.4 percent in 2002 (World Bank, 2005). Export growth is often considered to be a principal determinant of production and employment growth in an economy. It is also argued that foreign currency made available through export earnings facilitates import of capital goods, which in turn increases production potential of an economy.…

The major challenges are power and energy shortage, infrastructure bottlenecks, increases in fuel and non-fuel commodity prices in the international market, uncertainty in remittance growth, upward inflationary pressure, underutilization of the ADP, a downward trend in foreign aid utilization over the past few years, increased Bank borrowing by the government, increased pressure for subsidy, exchange rate instability and pressure on foreign exchange reserve.

    The macroeconomic developments in Bangladesh since the beginning of the 1990s, until middle of the decade, were characterized by a record-low rate of inflation, an unprecedented build-up of external reserves and an improved resource position of the government. These developments have been interpreted in part as evidence of successful macroeconomic stabilization, but also in part as symptoms of economic stagnation. The changes in the macroeconomic trends in the early 1990s came in the wake of a transition to a democratic rule along with the launching of a comprehensive programme of market-oriented liberalizing policy reforms. After that period there was a evident in a build-up of inflationary pressures, a deterioration in the government 's budgetary balances and a rapid draw-down on foreign exchange reserves.…

    To know about this issue is important for many ways. First of all, in any kind of development ‘participation’ comes first and Bangladesh is a developing country and will be a developed country in very near future. Having a target of upgrade itself into a developed country, many development initiatives has been taken by the present and previous government. Moreover it is very appalling to mention that; majority portion of these development initiatives has gone into the vain just because of lack of public participation. I have mentioned about ‘participation’ because, national parliament of any democratic country is the place of participation and dialogue and debate. When in any issue participation,…
