Economic Analysis

Economic Analysis

Overall economic overview of Bangladesh: Bangladesh remains a poor, overpopulated, and inefficiently-

governed nation. The economy has grown 5-6% per year since 1996 despite political instability, poor

infrastructure, corruption, insufficient power supplies, and slow implementation of economic reforms.

Although more than half of GDP is generated through the service sector, 45% of Bangladeshis are

employed in the agriculture sector, with rice as the single-most-important product. Bangladesh's growth

was resilient during the 2008-09 global financial crisis and recession. On the expenditure side, private

consumption accounts for about three-quarters of GDP while investment accounts for about one-quarter

of GDP. Bangladesh’s net imports of goods and services are equivalent to a deficit of about 7% of GDP

each year. This is financed by remittances and foreign financial assistance.
