You are arguing with people with lower IQs than an amoeba here. :cry: Everything you are saying is going over their heads. Unable to think for themselves and so regurgitating everything they see and read on the media at home.

Why are you bringing in nomads in here as they do not lead a similar lifestyle to that of the average Pakistani? They have plenty of land per person and do not aspire to lead a modern lifestyle and so we cannot make a valid judgement on whose lifestyle is "better". Overpopulation is a serious...

That is all that matters in the end fundamentally. Pakistan is in solid 3rd world territory with a per caputa gdp growth rate of 2% a year and some people do not think a high birth rate is a problem.

Dude, what is the per capita GDP of Pakistan compared to Spain and France?

I am a bit surprised that you want to send dunces off to university when they do not have the intelligence to benefit from higher education. Anyone below the top 20% is a dunce in my opinion. As a rough rule of thumb, the top 10% of the population are unable to even begin to comprehend STEM...

That is only because every employer insists on a degree here in the UK. As an example, there is no reason to ask for a degree to become an accountant or a software engineer. A 16 year old could just do A-Levels in accounting or computer science and then get into the relevant field by showing...

Having good infrastructure also makes the country attractive to both local and foreign tourists as we saw with the building of the Padma Bridge and the road network in the CHTs. Also the first image formed of a country is from photographs/youtube videos and foreigners are more likely to do...

For once we will need to disagree. Mass univerisity education is a really stupid policy. Only around 10% of the population are suitable for academic study after the age of 18. BD needs to implement a selective education system where the top 10% will get access to higher education and the...

I think he is trying to hope for the best as Indonesia does not have a strong authoritarian leader like Hasina. Indonesia is doing ok but could have been growing 1-2% points higher per annum average without democracy interfering in the development of the country. BD per capita PPP has gone...

Don't take offence but do you not think that your English skills have been holding you back all these years in the UK? In any professional environment in any country of the world, perfect verbal and written communication is expected.

We will have to agree to disagree here. The experts all think that BD economy will be the fastest large growing developing economy till 2037 and this year it's growth may actually be over 7% due to both export boom and domestic tourism boom due to healthy bank balances.

You are talking to someone who likes to see a glass half-empty. He will drain all the will to live out of you.:cry: BD has the BEST economy in the whole of the developing world and they still complain! Yes there are still some major issues like poor quality higher education system and health...

No you are looking at 2021-2022 fiscal and not the 2022 calendar year. Exports are going up faster than imports now. Indonesia GDP growth is at 4-5% a year average while countries like China were at 8%+ at similar stage of development. Democratic governments look at getting re-elected first.

Simplistic way to look at it. BD has been building up it's export industries over the last decade while simultaneously looking at reducing dependence on imports. Over the last 12 months, import have grown by 20% while exports have gone up by 30%. Figures before last 12 months you are right do...

@Indos BD is industralising as its IT, Pharma and Home Electronics industries are growing much faster than garments. Most of the stuff that comes from India is anyhow food, raw materias and energy. It is not industrial goods and machinery which mainly comes from China and will continue to do...

Are you seriously comparing Mauritius with Dhaka here? :undecided:

:rofl: What a bunch of time wasters as BAL rule will continue all throughout this decade.

Ignore that guy please. He does not represent majority BD people as the opposition party BNP could only get some 10s of thousands to rally in Dhaka against the ruling BAL in government. This is a city of 22 million people. BD is very happy with the trading relationship with India that will be...

I guess no-one actually knows but speculating from the fact that it will be 2023 soon and no new contract has been signed. BAF section is dead now and we just need a CONTRACT for a squadron of 4+ gen Western jets and it would come ALIVE immediately.

Vietnam is still at a low-income per capita and so all those factors do not totally explain why it's growth is projected to slow to only 5.2% a year average between 2027-2037. They got quick growth from inviting all the MNCs in but this has killed or hampered their local industry who were not...
