The Awami league, voted to power by
Bangladesh's electorate in last December's
national elections, has laid out a vision that promises to
take Bangladesh to a middle-income status by 2021. According
to this vision 'poverty will be drastically reduced;
where our citizens will be able to meet every basic need and
where development will be fast track, with ever increasing
rates of growth.' How can the new government deliver
on its economic promises? What issues does it need to
tackle in the immediate near-run as well as medium- to
long-run to take the country forward on the growth enhancing
and poverty reducing path? What steps are needed to deal
with the likely impact of the still unfolding global
economic crisis? This note provides a broad overview of the
current state of the Bangladesh economy, the immediate
challenges it faces from the ongoing global crisis and the
medium-term policy priorities for accelerating growth and
reducing poverty. |
