As a Bangladeshi, I have to admit that the government has failed to diversify the export sector. It is too much reliant on a single sector. There is a lack of entrepreneurship. Most tech students flock to foreign countries for higher education and don't return. There is also rampant corruption and political instability which hinder the nation's progress. The recent democratic backsliding will worsen the situation. 😢
It's not the government's job to diversify a country's export basket. The correct term would be that our government has failed to "allow" diversification of our export sector and economy as a whole due to faulty policymaking and implementations like higher import tariffs on some engine parts; effectively cutting off potential welfare gains from value addition.
@@justabusinesssavvyguyfromb8612 Bangladesh people are not hardworking enough to grow a mega corporation. That's why there's no other major industries.
nice explanation by Econ. its really interesting that Bangladesh has come so far based on only single rmg sector. as a Bangladeshi i can confirm that starting business in Bangladesh is so complex and time consuming because of corruption, poor bureaucracy. plus we have a government that has been ruling the country for the last 15 years, although this ensured political stability but the government's poor policies, corruption, money laundering has hampered the economy.
@@AnAn___west bengal is if not even worse only thing that west bengal has is coal, good sea port, somewhat slow industry, and tea gardens of Darjeeling
@@AnAn___ there is no such thing as a "wokeness problem" it's only problem is what the rest of India is facing the political parties have a vision to stay or achieve power but no vision to actually exercise that power.
@@UwU-ix8su I think there is a problem. Please read snakes in the ganga. Also note that the ST academic scores are probably lower than they would otherwise be because of wokeness. Punjabi standardized test scores too. Manipur's violence was partly set off by affirmative action reservation quotas, set asides, subsidies and preferences. Part of the reason Indian police are so hesitant to use force to maintain law and order is because of wokeness. Communist Party of China is funding woke breaking democracy forces in Japan, South Korea, Philippines, India, Europe, Australia, USA, Latin America. They are also a threat inside Bangladesh.
Not so , because the opposition of current government is totally infavor of redical Islam . We'll know what redical Islam doing with countries economy. And one more thing never trust on the government which is choosen by Victoria newlend , so the current government is best
Well, Vietnam is a communist country and it is doing so well. So, authoritarian is not an issue in when it comes to atleast economy especially if the alternative is a radical Islamist regime.
@@Canyouseemeanna authoritarianism can work for a short while, but in the long term, democracy is the only way to achieve high level of living standarts. Look at Taiwan or SKorea.
As a Bangladeshi Hindu, The Bengal sultanate was the period when Bangla was at it's peak. People of all religions lived with harmony ( The proof being medieval mosques which has hindu and Buddhist terracotta ) During that time Bangla was the richest province in the world.
Bro in which district of Bangladesh do you live and don't mind i am just asking..... I know that there are 20 million Hindus in Bangladesh and that's a lot you guys are the true minority......
Thanks Econ for covering the economy of one of the most important countries in South Asia, one which gets limited international news coverage. Your contribution is highly appreciated.
@@DarkMasterEdits-Mashupsno such thing as india. India name given to poor indians by their British masters 😂 whi the Bengali defeated and kicked out. Both india and pakistan names are made up
im really glad to see bangladesh doing great, the 1971 war was lliterally a blessing in disguise for them, hoping for healthy competition and cooperation with india in future, love and regards from bharat.
@@anubhavraghav7010 Bangladesh achieved today what it has, is because of the indepenence war. But that doesn't mean its a blessing. If Pakistan gave us independence without killing millions then you could have said that, just like it happened with Singapore
@@ChickenVeggi And you think Pakistan would do that? 😂 They literally launched Operation Searchlight which is the most gruesome genocide of the 20th century only because a Bangladesh-based politically party won the Pakistani elections. Reality was that Bangladesh was just a Exploitation colony for the Pakistanis and it was going worse and worse.
Bangladesh has also got shipyard industry and massive help to peace keeping missions to UN. That the west doesn't want to hear but Bangladesh is saving the world and helping the poor countries such DRC , Rwanda , Liberia and so on. Do you know that India didn't want Bangladesh to be part of the QUAD ?
Another thing about Bangladesh is the rise in product prices. Even after all this growth, it's sad to see everyday product prices rising while salaries stay the same. At this point, as a Bangladeshi I'm questioning all this growth.
Govt failed to control inflation. They had to increase the interest rate .But for the sake of businessmen, they didn't. (Finance minister was also a businessman.) Now, the people are suffering.
@@phoenixj1299 Right. Previous finance minister Late Abdul Muhit took lots of strict decision which turned out to be effective in the long run. But now it's totally ruined.
In light of the ongoing global economic crisis, it is crucial for everyone to prioritize investing in diverse sources of income that are not reliant on the government. This includes exploring opportunities in stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies. Despite the challenging economic situation, it remains a favorable time to consider these investments.
The pathway to substantial returns doesn't solely rely on stocks with significant movements. Instead, it revolves around effectively managing risk relative to reward. By appropriately sizing your positions and capitalizing on your advantage repeatedly, you can progressively work towards achieving your financial goals. This principle applies across various investment approaches, whether it be long-term investing or day trading.
Even with the right strategies and appropriate assets, investment returns can differ among investors. Recognizing the vital role of experience in investment success is crucial. Personally, I understood this significance and sought guidance from a market analyst, significantly growing my account to nearly a million. Strategically withdrawing profits just before the market correction, I'm now seizing buying opportunities once again.
Gertrude Margaret Quinto, is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
from being socially and economically destroyed by Pakistan to beating Pakistan in the respective sector Bangladeshi brothers and sisters has came a long way ahead of it's former coloniser, love to see that! despite many differences ideologically from India we would love to have them as competitors rather than mindless hate and being an enemy. still a far way to go for both bangladesh and India in every sector and hope that we all do make it .
Anti-Imperialism is an alien phenomenon to the Indian psyche, British colonised and starved Bengal, not Pakistan. Bengal suffered famines Before 1947 and after 1971, not inbetween.
Bangladesh has come so far in the past 15 years, last time i was in Bangladesh it was 15 years ago, everything looks so different now compared to back then. 😍
The best time for the Bengal was (1576-1765). The Bengal Subah also referred to as Mughal Bengal, was the largest subdivision of Mughal India encompassing much of the Bengal region, which includes modern-day Bangladesh, the Indian state of West Bengal, and some parts of the present-day Indian states of Bihar, Jharkhand, and Odisha between the 16th and 18th centuries. The state was established following the dissolution of the Bengal Sultanate, a major trading nation in the world when the region was absorbed into the Mughal Empire. Bengal was the wealthiest region in the Indian subcontinent. Bengal Subah has been variously described as the "Paradise of Nations "and the "Golden Age of Bengal". It alone accounted for 40% of Dutch imports from Asia. The eastern part of Bengal was globally prominent in industries such as textile manufacturing and shipbuilding, and it was a major exporter of silk and cotton textiles, steel, saltpeter, and agricultural and industrial produce in the world. The region was also the basis of the Anglo-Bengal War. By the 18th century, Bengal emerged as a semi-independent state, under the rule of the Nawabs of Bengal, who acted on Mughal sovereignty. It started to undergo proto-industrialization, making significant contributions to the first Industrial Revolution, especially industrial textile manufacturing. In 1757 and 1764, the Company defeated the Nawab of Bengal at the Battle of Plassey and the Battle of Buxar, and Bengal came under British influence. It was deindustrialized.
But we must not live in the past, we should look at new future and compete with world, Bangladesh should move towards science and tech which could happen given the current GDP and low military requirements compared to Pakistan which use almost all of its money on Military
During 1940-1950s the only region in Asia with Major Industrial Clusters were in Bengal But after independence Indian State of West Bengal fell in to the hands of Communists who made industries irrelevant But don't know what happened to the Eastern side of Bengal
@@HarshSingh-qq2jf what we should prioritize on now is improving the quality of education first and foremost because of how atrocious our public education sector is. Otherwise, we are stuck as a third world cheap garments provider. There's also inequality and corruption to deal with as well as the need to develop sustainable food production capacity while reducing exports.
Eastern Bengal, and in fact the Bengal province, was the RICHEST part of British India accounting for 33% of the total revenues generated from the whole of the Raj. The people were poor, but the impoverishment of Bengal happens after partition, and the destruction that happened in 1971
Nah after maratha invasion and then colonialism bengal started getting poor. It was maybe the richest province in British India but doesn't mean it was good in situation. Most man made famines happened there
That's not how it works. British had a strong hold of Bengal, they taxed heavy on the poor population, that's how the revenue was so high. Bengal faced a lot of famines and million died before patition in those famines.
@@lonewolf1469 I never said Bengal wasn't rich. I just told how Bengal was giving 33% of British revenue and how it was already in a mess before partition. Britishers diverted all resources to Europe and most of the population was poorer than the average India at the time of partition.
In order to transform Bangladesh into a sustainably developed country, our primary focus should be on diversifying the economy. The administration is actively pursuing this goal, but I believe it requires more time to fully materialize.
Bangladesh has pharmaceutical industry with average growth rate of 17% And light engineering with growth rate of 54% So in 10 years Bangladesh will have diversified economy InshaAllah.
The keyword is corruption. If you don't focus on reducing corruption, you will never get foreign investments. Looking at the current administration, I don't think their main focus is on corruption rather they are focusing on building irrelevant things like the metro rail while the whole country suffers under corruption. This is known as poor governance as highlighted in the video.
Pakistan was way ahead of India till 2008. We were richer in dollar terms. GDP per capita was also higher than India. Pakistan is badly effected due to Afghanistan issue but we'll be back In Sha Allah by the grace of Allah as Nawaz Shareef will return to power soon
Good. After the 1971 Bangladeshi genocide they don't really deserve to be talked about. 200-400k women raped and 300k-3mil civilians killed in 8 months. We should also condemn the Chinese for their active genocide against the Uyghurs in Xinxiang.
1757-1947: British Colonial Era 1947-1971: Pakistan Rule 1972-1975: Dark Era of Bangladesh 1976-1990: Military Rule 1991-2009: Democracy (Almost) 2009-now: Dictatorship (Dictator was protected by India)
Amazing from Econ. Keep up the good work and for Bangladesh I hope you grow and be a cooperative brother of Us carrying South Asia from Pakistan and Sri lanka who are depriciating
@@deelanaSOf course. If they keep up with the reforms and continue making prudent economic decisions. What if another Rajapaksha like family mortgages Sri Lanka to CCP to get unsustainable projects eventually turning them into death blow loans?

I am from Kolkata, India- 30 kms away from Bangladesh Border, and I am Bengali - India may have many problems but - I am feeling Blessed to be a Citizen of a Democratic Country - Where I have the power to Change the Government - I Support Central Govt but Don't Support My State Govt - Both are poler opponents - But above of all i Respect both Govts, and election results- Its Really Sad to See the Deaths of Democracies in Our Neighborhoods ( Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Srilanka, Mayanmar, Thiland, Afghanistan) 😢,
You don't like your state government because it's not a radical Hindu government. India is ruled by Hinduttabad, not democracy. India is more divided than ever before. Sri Lanka, Nepal, Thailand have better democracy than India. Yep democracy in Bangladesh and Afghanistan are dead.
@@deder351Stop perpetrating misinformation. Thailand's military has a massive influence over politics, and the rest of the subcontinent has fared very poorly. The current government has absolutely hurt Indian democracy, but India is still the second best democracy in the region with 7.19 in the EIU ranking, only behind Malaysia's 7.30. Thailand is 6.67, Sri Lanka 6.47 and Nepal 4.49.

If Bangladesh, India and Pakistan work together they can move mountains and beat very wealthy nations or alliances like EU. Amazing geography and young human capital. Unfortunately they are always too busy focusing on their differences particularly India and Pakistan.
these 3 countries very much needed a good leadership. but unfortunately all of them got power hungry governments who are busy creating conflicts and racism to ensure their position
I’m from Pakistan and let me tell you that Pakistan has changed completely thanks to Imran Khan who has exposed the entire system of military dominance and the sheer size of their corporate and political empire. Every Pakistani is now more aware of the democratic processes and power of vote than any Pakistani generation in history. Which is why I am hopeful that once this military empire which continued British colonial policies falls, you will see a very different Pakistan which is reflective of the people.
That figure is very much disputed. It took the Nazis 6 years to reach the death toll of the holocaust. How could the Pakistani military have reached half of that number in 1/6 of the time?? It’s logistically impossible
Bangladesh has been developing quite frankly but it might not last long due to too much corruption and instability. Political parties are a huge obstacle for Bangladesh (whether it's the current ruling party whom are autocratic and extremely corrupt ot the opposite party whom are extremely radical and are threat to secularism). The political parties of our country has lot of problems and none of them are near ideal.
The situation isn't that dire really. To be frank, it's as dire as it is bright. The reason our economy hasn't been doing well lately was because of macroeconomic instability. All of it was preventable and it's nice to see small steps are being taken gradually. I'm sure the upcoming finance minister will pick up the pace. Mainly, in making interest rates market oriented, faster. I still have concerns over the exchange rate issue though. Will they float taka fast enough? Time will tell. Bangladesh Bank still tries to occasionally prevent other banks from buying dollars at higher rates. They just need to look past the short term gains. Macroeconomics stability is key in attracting investments of all forms, be it FDI or local - hence FDI has been dropping over the years. Tldr: our economic doom has easy fixes. Protectionism did us more harm than good.
Our country can be corruption free after 15-20 years. Beach most of the corrupted politicians are at age of 65 to 75 and new generation people has hatred for corruption as they saw how corruption damaging BD.
The next economic crisis is anticipated to be more severe, primarily because we won't have the financial means to bail it out as we did in the past. The previous crisis should have been more severe, yet it wasn't as catastrophic as anticipated. Additionally, individuals defaulting on their debts are likely to include those with good credit scores and loans carrying higher interest rates, amplifying the gravity of the situation in various aspects. Moreover, the current scenario is exacerbated by inflation depreciating the dollar and impacting markets, unlike the previous crisis, aside from high gas prices.
Inflation is causing a multitude of issues globally, ranging from food shortages to shortages in diesel and heating fuel, as well as escalating housing prices and the risk of a financial market crash. These factors are converging, and by the year's end, it could result in a full-fledged disaster.
For newcomers to the market, I suggest seeking professional guidance. The best way to build a well-structured portfolio is to start with a knowledgeable professional who understands the volatile yet lucrative nature of the market.
One of my objectives for the upcoming year is to engage the services of a financial advisor. I tried reaching out to a few via Facebook, but unfortunately, I didn't receive any responses. Could you suggest the advisor you work with?
The Bangla Empire (Bengal Sultanate) stood as one of the wealthiest empires of its time. However, it was the British who, through looting, killing, and imposing famines, inflicted significant harm. Yet, the most enduring impact lies in the religious disharmony they fostered, a lasting challenge we still face. By exerting our efforts diligently, we have the potential to reclaim our greatness.
Ah.... the sultanates didn't bring wealth. They invaded it first because Bengal was wealthy and rich. It was already part of Indian golden age before. So... Tho I understand, both in pakistan and bangladesh history classes probably start from the islamic invasion period.
Undoubtedly, there has been serious damage in the DOING BUSINESS index over the years. Though its ranking has started back towards good ranking very slowly from 2018. To improve on this ranking, the government appointed some officials to improve this ranking. But, there is doubt whether doing business has become easy or not. In contrast to FDI, private investment had steadily increased from 12.5% of GDP in 1981 to 17.3% in 2000, reaching a high of 25.3% in 2019. Though it has declined from the pandemic period. Also, the success rate of government development has increased over the years. Without FDI growth, steady growth of GDP indicates an independent capability of doing better economically.
From another perspective, by strengthening private investment, Bangladesh probably will face similar issue as South Korea, where the country is practically controlled by both the government and private sector giant. Sure economically strong private investment will boost the "country" ranks faster, but socially the rift between the poor and the rich will be wider. Personally I see they are in best trajectory, both lifting up lower income houses and steadily strengthening the overall economy. With exception of that laser focused economy on textile and garments. One major disruption and we will have another Sri Lanka.
You’ve clearly never lived in Korea and your knowledge of that country and its economics appears to be from the University of Twitter. The gap between rich and poor exists yes, but the standard of living for the poor is actually quite high. It’s all relative of course and anyone outside the top 1% will always have something to complain about, but the country continues to grow and thrive and a key reason is the basics are taken care of, and at a really high level, and really the standard of almost everything is quite high even in comparison to other OECD countries. Food and transportation are ridiculously affordable despite the quality being world class, education too, and homelessness is extremely low. The country has its share of problems and challenges but the superficial talking points you mention ignore some key truths about Korea’s economy. The proof is in the pudding. The country just works. Go visit some time. You’ll see what I mean.
bangladesh is doing much better than many countries as the countries like bangladesh and india continue to grow the indian subcontinent will see the prosperity again after long time
Pakistan is going through a turbulent time right now but in the near future Pakistan will emerge much more stronger in all areas because Imran Khan has completely changed the country forever
I appreciate that you chose to cover something about my country's economy in your video but this hardly touches on any economic aspect of things, especially for an economics channel- ony scraping on surface level information.

@@priyanks91 well economics explained is a pretty good economics source for dummies (not necessarily a bad thing).

GDP is 4x the foriegn debt so it not a concern yet and all these loan wss taken to build the infrastructure which was needed so bad. If Bangladesh printed all those money to build the infrastructure, the inflation would have gone through the roof and if im not wrong the interest on those loan is so low like 1 to 3% n long term
No economy achieved by humanity to this date has been sustainable. The better question is, "Will it last long enough to transform into something else useful?"

Atleast you are not blaming India for lots of issues of Bangladesh. I have seen many Bangladeshis doing that. That's a good place to start.

There are developments in Bangladesh but they are infrastructural. The government is doing all this depending on foreign loans. But while paying this loan, the country's reserves are decreasing. There is no need for such development.If the amount of budget presented in the country had been utilized properly, Bangladesh would have been different today.
The biggest obstacle to Bangladesh's development is now India. India wants to snatch production and foreign investments away from Bangladesh to its own country. Bangladesh buys electricity at higher price from Adani. It doesn't let Bangladesh transport goods to Nepal and Bhutan via its land, while it uses thousands of km of Bangladeshi roads to transport goods to its north-east. Bangladesh allows Indian ships to dock at its port for a lower price but they don't give Bangladesh such facility.
Bangladesh enjoys support from India through aid and political help internationally, billions of dollars of assistance and diplomatic support from India provides stability to Bangladesh which in turn helps Bangladesh to grow.
China & Garments sector is behind the growth of Bangladesh not India. Bangladesh only takes loans from India to maintain friendship with higher interest rate than other countries. And Bangladesh didn't receive any Indian diplomatic support in Rohingya crisis and other international issues. The only help Bangladesh got from India was in 71 and that's only because India wanted to weaken Pakistan. @@yashwanthchill7684
Bangladesh literally has a monopoly on the cheapest garment sweatshops due to absent labour codes and bare minimum wages, no insurance and tax evasion. It’s very hard for India to capture the textile market back so Indian traders just buy the cheap goods from bdesh and resell it to others using better IT infra and contacts and ofc ports for the shipments. Speaking of which you do realise that India too heavily invests in Bdesh right? And if electricity is such a problem why can’t you produce your own through hydropower dams? Or set up large solar parks?Unless one lacks the capital or the capacity to build and innovate, nothing will change. Your own government agreed to the terms that Adani had given and that electricity is benefiting the industries more than the people, helping the country industrialise further. Ofc it won’t be cheap considering cost of transferring the said electricity via transformers from Jharkhand all the way to West Bengal and then into Bdesh is also borne by Adani. Do remember that we also need that electricity that you’re getting from Adani. If tomorrow this link were to shutdown I can only imagine how much more pressure it would add to the industries and houses in Dhaka that rely on it moreover on the Govts forex reserves in buying more and more coal with only a few plants to process it. Your own limitations have caused your state to take a deal such as Adanis. Your total output of all plants combined is around 22.7GW, Adani has to provide Dhaka with 1.6GW for the next 25 years, while already importing 1.16GW. Do the maths and see how much percentage 1.16GW is of 22.7. You can alternatively let him build coal thermal plants within Bdesh itself to get cheaper electricity but do remember he will without a doubt maintain a majority stake if not 49% stake.

For fair comparison, India appears to be less developed than Bangladesh due to its poor states of UP, Bihar, West Bengal etc.. Otherwise, southern, western and northern states are all economically and socially ahead of Bangladesh. India's Maharashtra has a per capita GDP around $3500 while Bangladesh at $2600.. It has less population than Bangladesh but GDP more than Bangladesh.. If Bangladesh would have been a state of India, it would have been a moderate fast growing coastal state like. UP is developing fast but other sluggish states are what making India poorer than it seems.

India will limit Bangladesh economy very soon. There are almost 10 million illegal Bangladeshi in India sending at least 6 billion $ back, harming India interest. Even India provide electricity to its national grid. Not to mentioned large cotton export critical for its large export oriented textile industry. There will be concrete effort to deport them through legal means or at least take their jobs and business coupled with creating end to end textile industry in India with hardly any cotton left to export Not to mentioned India own elec tricity needs.

Bangladesh's economy is becoming so rich that they didn't have enough foreign exchange reserves left so they took a bailout package from the IMF n world bank. 😂
It can be happened to a developing country like Bangladesh. Yeah Bangladesh is going through some difficulties and it's possible to overcome. Also, from which source you found that Bangladesh didn’t have enough foreign reserve left? Seriously?
When did Bangladesh take a bailout package? Do you even know what a bailout package is? You're delusional 😂 Bangladesh still has over $20 billion in forex, and countries take bailouts when they are in their last legs (i.e., Pakistan when their reserves were about $3 billion). Bangladesh took the loan to fix budgetary deficits and fight climate change. Go and spread your BS elsewhere 😂

Most tech students flock to foreign countries for higher education and don't return. There is also rampant corruption and political instability which hinder the nation's progress. The recent democratic backsliding will worsen the situation. 😢
same with india they dont fucking care about peoples they are busy filling their pockets
Authoritarianism in the past 8-9 years ruined what the people built since 1990.
Diversification of economy should be the first priority here
It's not the government's job to diversify a country's export basket. The correct term would be that our government has failed to "allow" diversification of our export sector and economy as a whole due to faulty policymaking and implementations like higher import tariffs on some engine parts; effectively cutting off potential welfare gains from value addition.

nice explanation by Econ. its really interesting that Bangladesh has come so far based on only single rmg sector. as a Bangladeshi i can confirm that starting business in Bangladesh is so complex and time consuming because of corruption, poor bureaucracy. plus we have a government that has been ruling the country for the last 15 years, although this ensured political stability but the government's poor policies, corruption, money laundering has hampered the economy.

@@UwU-ix8su I think there is a problem. Please read snakes in the ganga.
Also note that the ST academic scores are probably lower than they would otherwise be because of wokeness. Punjabi standardized test scores too.
Manipur's violence was partly set off by affirmative action reservation quotas, set asides, subsidies and preferences.
Part of the reason Indian police are so hesitant to use force to maintain law and order is because of wokeness.
Communist Party of China is funding woke breaking democracy forces in Japan, South Korea, Philippines, India, Europe, Australia, USA, Latin America. They are also a threat inside Bangladesh.
The biggest threat to bangladesh is the authoritarian leadership, which will only increase corruption and inefficiency.
Not so , because the opposition of current government is totally infavor of redical Islam . We'll know what redical Islam doing with countries economy.
And one more thing never trust on the government which is choosen by Victoria newlend , so the current government is best
Well, Vietnam is a communist country and it is doing so well. So, authoritarian is not an issue in when it comes to atleast economy especially if the alternative is a radical Islamist regime.

In light of the ongoing global economic crisis, it is crucial for everyone to prioritize investing in diverse sources of income that are not reliant on the government. This includes exploring opportunities in stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies. Despite the challenging economic situation, it remains a favorable time to consider these investments.
The pathway to substantial returns doesn't solely rely on stocks with significant movements. Instead, it revolves around effectively managing risk relative to reward. By appropriately sizing your positions and capitalizing on your advantage repeatedly, you can progressively work towards achieving your financial goals. This principle applies across various investment approaches, whether it be long-term investing or day trading.
Even with the right strategies and appropriate assets, investment returns can differ among investors. Recognizing the vital role of experience in investment success is crucial. Personally, I understood this significance and sought guidance from a market analyst, significantly growing my account to nearly a million. Strategically withdrawing profits just before the market correction, I'm now seizing buying opportunities once again.

The best time for the Bengal was (1576-1765). The Bengal Subah also referred to as Mughal Bengal, was the largest subdivision of Mughal India encompassing much of the Bengal region, which includes modern-day Bangladesh, the Indian state of West Bengal, and some parts of the present-day Indian states of Bihar, Jharkhand, and Odisha between the 16th and 18th centuries. The state was established following the dissolution of the Bengal Sultanate, a major trading nation in the world when the region was absorbed into the Mughal Empire. Bengal was the wealthiest region in the Indian subcontinent.
Bengal Subah has been variously described as the "Paradise of Nations "and the "Golden Age of Bengal". It alone accounted for 40% of Dutch imports from Asia. The eastern part of Bengal was globally prominent in industries such as textile manufacturing and shipbuilding, and it was a major exporter of silk and cotton textiles, steel, saltpeter, and agricultural and industrial produce in the world. The region was also the basis of the Anglo-Bengal War.
By the 18th century, Bengal emerged as a semi-independent state, under the rule of the Nawabs of Bengal, who acted on Mughal sovereignty. It started to undergo proto-industrialization, making significant contributions to the first Industrial Revolution, especially industrial textile manufacturing. In 1757 and 1764, the Company defeated the Nawab of Bengal at the Battle of Plassey and the Battle of Buxar, and Bengal came under British influence. It was deindustrialized.
But we must not live in the past, we should look at new future and compete with world, Bangladesh should move towards science and tech which could happen given the current GDP and low military requirements compared to Pakistan which use almost all of its money on Military
@@HarshSingh-qq2jf One day Bangladesh will be the richest country on Earth again as it was under Bengal Sultanat.
InshaAllah.
During 1940-1950s the only region in Asia with Major Industrial Clusters were in Bengal
But after independence Indian State of West Bengal fell in to the hands of Communists who made industries irrelevant
But don't know what happened to the Eastern side of Bengal
@@HarshSingh-qq2jf what we should prioritize on now is improving the quality of education first and foremost because of how atrocious our public education sector is. Otherwise, we are stuck as a third world cheap garments provider. There's also inequality and corruption to deal with as well as the need to develop sustainable food production capacity while reducing exports.
I'm from Eastern Jharkhand(Jamshedpur) only 4 hrs away from Kolkata & there are many Bengalis in our city.
Eastern Bengal, and in fact the Bengal province, was the RICHEST part of British India accounting for 33% of the total revenues generated from the whole of the Raj. The people were poor, but the impoverishment of Bengal happens after partition, and the destruction that happened in 1971
Nah after maratha invasion and then colonialism bengal started getting poor. It was maybe the richest province in British India but doesn't mean it was good in situation. Most man made famines happened there
That's not how it works. British had a strong hold of Bengal, they taxed heavy on the poor population, that's how the revenue was so high. Bengal faced a lot of famines and million died before patition in those famines.
@@anshul6168before british bengal was also rich one search in google won't hurt

@@lonewolf1469 I never said Bengal wasn't rich. I just told how Bengal was giving 33% of British revenue and how it was already in a mess before partition. Britishers diverted all resources to Europe and most of the population was poorer than the average India at the time of partition.

In order to transform Bangladesh into a sustainably developed country, our primary focus should be on diversifying the economy. The administration is actively pursuing this goal, but I believe it requires more time to fully materialize.

And light engineering with growth rate of 54%
So in 10 years Bangladesh will have diversified economy InshaAllah.
@@s.msadat8383 Inshallah.
It can't diversify its economy as long as it's stuck in the Islamic ideology. Because it will make Bangladesh untrustworthy to other countries.
The keyword is corruption. If you don't focus on reducing corruption, you will never get foreign investments. Looking at the current administration, I don't think their main focus is on corruption rather they are focusing on building irrelevant things like the metro rail while the whole country suffers under corruption. This is known as poor governance as highlighted in the video.

Bangladesh has been developing quite frankly but it might not last long due to too much corruption and instability.
Political parties are a huge obstacle for Bangladesh (whether it's the current ruling party whom are autocratic and extremely corrupt ot the opposite party whom are extremely radical and are threat to secularism).
The political parties of our country has lot of problems and none of them are near ideal.
Right
Corruption has been always it didn't came today.
The situation isn't that dire really. To be frank, it's as dire as it is bright. The reason our economy hasn't been doing well lately was because of macroeconomic instability. All of it was preventable and it's nice to see small steps are being taken gradually. I'm sure the upcoming finance minister will pick up the pace. Mainly, in making interest rates market oriented, faster. I still have concerns over the exchange rate issue though. Will they float taka fast enough? Time will tell. Bangladesh Bank still tries to occasionally prevent other banks from buying dollars at higher rates. They just need to look past the short term gains. Macroeconomics stability is key in attracting investments of all forms, be it FDI or local - hence FDI has been dropping over the years.
Tldr: our economic doom has easy fixes. Protectionism did us more harm than good.
Our country can be corruption free after 15-20 years.

The next economic crisis is anticipated to be more severe, primarily because we won't have the financial means to bail it out as we did in the past. The previous crisis should have been more severe, yet it wasn't as catastrophic as anticipated. Additionally, individuals defaulting on their debts are likely to include those with good credit scores and loans carrying higher interest rates, amplifying the gravity of the situation in various aspects. Moreover, the current scenario is exacerbated by inflation depreciating the dollar and impacting markets, unlike the previous crisis, aside from high gas prices.
Inflation is causing a multitude of issues globally, ranging from food shortages to shortages in diesel and heating fuel, as well as escalating housing prices and the risk of a financial market crash. These factors are converging, and by the year's end, it could result in a full-fledged disaster.
For newcomers to the market, I suggest seeking professional guidance. The best way to build a well-structured portfolio is to start with a knowledgeable professional who understands the volatile yet lucrative nature of the market.
One of my objectives for the upcoming year is to engage the services of a financial advisor. I tried reaching out to a few via Facebook, but unfortunately, I didn't receive any responses. Could you suggest the advisor you work with?
The Bangla Empire (Bengal Sultanate) stood as one of the wealthiest empires of its time. However, it was the British who, through looting, killing, and imposing famines, inflicted significant harm. Yet, the most enduring impact lies in the religious disharmony they fostered, a lasting challenge we still face. By exerting our efforts diligently, we have the potential to reclaim our greatness.

Undoubtedly, there has been serious damage in the DOING BUSINESS index over the years. Though its ranking has started back towards good ranking very slowly from 2018. To improve on this ranking, the government appointed some officials to improve this ranking. But, there is doubt whether doing business has become easy or not.
In contrast to FDI, private investment had steadily increased from 12.5% of GDP in 1981 to 17.3% in 2000, reaching a high of 25.3% in 2019. Though it has declined from the pandemic period. Also, the success rate of government development has increased over the years. Without FDI growth, steady growth of GDP indicates an independent capability of doing better economically.

From another perspective, by strengthening private investment, Bangladesh probably will face similar issue as South Korea, where the country is practically controlled by both the government and private sector giant. Sure economically strong private investment will boost the "country" ranks faster, but socially the rift between the poor and the rich will be wider.
Personally I see they are in best trajectory, both lifting up lower income houses and steadily strengthening the overall economy. With exception of that laser focused economy on textile and garments. One major disruption and we will have another Sri Lanka.

You’ve clearly never lived in Korea and your knowledge of that country and its economics appears to be from the University of Twitter. The gap between rich and poor exists yes, but the standard of living for the poor is actually quite high. It’s all relative of course and anyone outside the top 1% will always have something to complain about, but the country continues to grow and thrive and a key reason is the basics are taken care of, and at a really high level, and really the standard of almost everything is quite high even in comparison to other OECD countries. Food and transportation are ridiculously affordable despite the quality being world class, education too, and homelessness is extremely low.

the only thing keeping us away from the imminent success is our unstable politics and corrupted governance, if we could work as a whole and fight against corruption from the very individual sectors we can do wonders, we have one of the best geo logical location, futile lands, most importantly huge population of young generation, we maintain good relation with our neighboring countries. hopefully we can help ourselves in the long run and make the country an example like phoenix. joy bangla
Atleast you are not blaming India for lots of issues of Bangladesh. I have seen many Bangladeshis doing that. That's a good place to start.
Through BBIN and BIMSTEC we could have got into ASEAN if not for the unrest and instability in Myanmar. But atleast projects under BBIN are moving forward with great pace.
True
Communal attitude and religious fanatism are the reasons for Bangladesh backwardness
@@varun2250 But I saw that many Indians say removing Islam and MUSLIMS from India will make India like US.
REALLY?!!
@@s.msadat8383Not removing Islam. Rather than giving priority to Hindu ideals. Ancient India was global superpower because of Hindu ideals and policies. Thats what made India the 5th biggest economy in the world by using such policies and ideals. Staying true to the roots gave a huge boost to the population of India which made them achieve great things. It also made India a third pole in geopolitics. I mean look at the infrastructure in mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, Noida, Goa etc. You wouldn't find it any different than some sophisticated cities in US, and Europe. If that development is spread throughout India, then imagine the prosperity. India is protecting it's indigenous culture. As simple as that. Everyone is obviously welcome.
I believe within 10 Years Bangladesh will very rich country 7% yearly growth it's amazing.. Insoallah.. Allah bless you all bangladeshi people. ❤

Rise of Bangladesh is good for India, when Bangladeshis rise again, India won’t have illegal immigration. Bengalis will stay in Bangladesh
That's why I don't trust western reports.

thanks for highlighting our country
Ask them to not to send any rohingyas to India and enter our country illegally being so rich and wealthy
During much of british and pre british islamic reign, much of landmass of today's Bangladesh did not even exist and were part of saline delta swamp. What this video mentions as Bengal includes today's west Bengal as well. East Bengal for several millennia has been a subset of Indian civilisation.
Yes the East Bengal was Jungle once. but it was converted into tax-generating farm land by the Mughals which made Bengal the richest in India.
Really?!
So how Old Dhaka and Sonrgaon, Chittagong, Kustia, Comilla has a rich economic history?
LIAR INDIANS
@@jashemfarhan7511Also because of Jaziya and many illegal tax. Only because of these illegal tax, it became rich. Thats nothing to be proud of. It's something to be ashamed of.
what a moronic take. Bengal became rich by converting its jungles into tax-generating farmlands and cottage industry thereby turning it into a manufacturing hub and a net exporter.

There are developments in Bangladesh but they are infrastructural. The government is doing all this depending on foreign loans. But while paying this loan, the country's reserves are decreasing. There is no need for such development.If the amount of budget presented in the country had been utilized properly, Bangladesh would have been different today.
The biggest obstacle to Bangladesh's development is now India. India wants to snatch production and foreign investments away from Bangladesh to its own country. Bangladesh buys electricity at higher price from Adani. It doesn't let Bangladesh transport goods to Nepal and Bhutan via its land, while it uses thousands of km of Bangladeshi roads to transport goods to its north-east. Bangladesh allows Indian ships to dock at its port for a lower price but they don't give Bangladesh such facility.
Bangladesh enjoys support from India through aid and political help internationally, billions of dollars of assistance and diplomatic support from India provides stability to Bangladesh which in turn helps Bangladesh to grow.
China & Garments sector is behind the growth of Bangladesh not India. Bangladesh only takes loans from India to maintain friendship with higher interest rate than other countries. And Bangladesh didn't receive any Indian diplomatic support in Rohingya crisis and other international issues. The only help Bangladesh got from India was in 71 and that's only because India wanted to weaken Pakistan. @@yashwanthchill7684
Try to innovate technology like Germans as well the Jewish community instead of blaming others.
Bangladesh literally has a monopoly on the cheapest garment sweatshops due to absent labour codes and bare minimum wages, no insurance and tax evasion. It’s very hard for India to capture the textile market back so Indian traders just buy the cheap goods from bdesh and resell it to others using better IT infra and contacts and ofc ports for the shipments.
Speaking of which you do realise that India too heavily invests in Bdesh right? And if electricity is such a problem why can’t you produce your own through hydropower dams? Or set up large solar parks?Unless one lacks the capital or the capacity to build and innovate, nothing will change.
Your own government agreed to the terms that Adani had given and that electricity is benefiting the industries more than the people, helping the country industrialise further. Ofc it won’t be cheap considering cost of transferring the said electricity via transformers from Jharkhand all the way to West Bengal and then into Bdesh is also borne by Adani. Do remember that we also need that electricity that you’re getting from Adani. If tomorrow this link were to shutdown I can only imagine how much more pressure it would add to the industries and houses in Dhaka that rely on it moreover on the Govts forex reserves in buying more and more coal with only a few plants to process it. Your own limitations have caused your state to take a deal such as Adanis. Your total output of all plants combined is around 22.7GW, Adani has to provide Dhaka with 1.6GW for the next 25 years, while already importing 1.16GW. Do the maths and see how much percentage 1.16GW is of 22.7.
You can alternatively let him build coal thermal plants within Bdesh itself to get cheaper electricity but do remember he will without a doubt maintain a majority stake if not 49% stake.
@@yashwanthchill7684billions of dollars aid? Please mention some. Business agreements aren't aid.

Bangladesh today is what Pakistan could've become, if they had better priorities...
Pakistan was ahead of india and Bangladesh up until the 2000s. We are surrounded by instability and enemies on all side. Bangladesh and india don’t have afghanistan and the Middle East as neighbours 😂count y’all self as lucky. Pakistan is literally protecting y’all.
For fair comparison, India appears to be less developed than Bangladesh due to its poor states of UP, Bihar, West Bengal etc.. Otherwise, southern, western and northern states are all economically and socially ahead of Bangladesh. India's Maharashtra has a per capita GDP around $3500 while Bangladesh at $2600.. It has less population than Bangladesh but GDP more than Bangladesh.. If Bangladesh would have been a state of India, it would have been a moderate fast growing coastal state like. UP is developing fast but other sluggish states are what making India poorer than it seems.
India gives Bangladesh the privilege to produce clothes . If India stops then u will migration of Bangladeshis in India which India never wants .

India will limit Bangladesh economy very soon. There are almost 10 million illegal Bangladeshi in India sending at least 6 billion $ back, harming India interest. Even India provide electricity to its national grid. Not to mentioned large cotton export critical for its large export oriented textile industry. There will be concrete effort to deport them through legal means or at least take their jobs and business coupled with creating end to end textile industry in India with hardly any cotton left to export Not to mentioned India own elec tricity needs. Bangladesh must prepare for it, which anyway is hard and hence its economy is expected to flounder.

Bangladesh's economy is becoming so rich that they didn't have enough foreign exchange reserves left so they took a bailout package from the IMF n world bank. 😂
It can be happened to a developing country like Bangladesh. Yeah Bangladesh is going through some difficulties and it's possible to overcome.
Also, from which source you found that Bangladesh didn’t have enough foreign reserve left? Seriously?
right lmao
According to per capita gdp, India is poorer than Bangladesh.
Poor indian people.😂
When did Bangladesh take a bailout package? Do you even know what a bailout package is? You're delusional 😂 Bangladesh still has over $20 billion in forex, and countries take bailouts when they are in their last legs (i.e., Pakistan when their reserves were about $3 billion). Bangladesh took the loan to fix budgetary deficits and fight climate change. Go and spread your BS elsewhere 😂
