BD's Walton has a huge single complex that employs 30,000 people in total. TVs, fridges etc are being designed and built in this site. It will also build another site with a 15,000 workforce. No the difference is not due to productivity as when you compare like for like, BD factories tend to...

Think you missed the detail in his post. BD tends to build much larger factories when compared to India - its garment factories employ thousands when Indian ones usually are in the hundreds. Yes there are a huge Indian factories that employ many thousands but they are the exception rather than...

Also the 2nd nuclear power plant will come online by 2030. I think this one will be 4 x 1200MW reactors for a total capacity of 4.8GW. Hydroelectric from Nepal and Bhutan will also have an advantage in help uplifting the economies of these 2 states and in Nepal's case provide a pretty...

Factories themselves do not take too much land as a single one could employ 10,000 people or more. Walton currently employs 30,000 people on their site of 350 hectares. It is building a 2nd smaller site that will employ another 15,000 people by 2026 if my memory serves me correctly. So using...

US has no such ability to influence BD politics.:disagree: BD is nicely balancing the US, China and India all against each other. :sniper: AL will "win" the December 2023 elections and we will be set for another 5 years of stability and fast economic growth to take BD into "middle-income"...

@BananaRepublicUK @mb444 You guys need to get a room as you are both good posters but have some sort of problem with each other. Guys, can we please get back on track please?

Let's talk about Hasina's son since it was brought up. BD has been growing IT exports by an average of 35-40% per year on the back of his management of the "Digital BD" initiative since 2009. At least Hasina puts competent people in charge of important areas who know what they are doing unlike...

Everything they are doing is sustainable like Roopur nuclear,Padma bridge and SEZs. I would not overhype the little bit of looting they are doing on the side as that cannot affect the overall economy much negatively. BD citizens are far more fortunate than nearly all other 3rd works countries...

Not correct. All the "Asian Tigers" from the 20th century were dictatorships during their development phase. Even your own country Indonesia had its fastest growth during the Suharto dictatorship. Growth rates would average 7% for 30 years and over the last 25 years that has fallen to 5%. It...

The difference with BD is that most of these factories will be constructed by BD people and not as FDI like in other countries in SE Asia and India to some extent. It is better to increase export growth slower but with your own companies as then you will keep the money and technology to...

Best to just ignore these half-literates who are missing half a brain it seems. They have no idea what they are talking about as this stuff is way above their level. If one of them ever read, rather than watch youtube clips, for knowledge I would very surprised!

As long as the corruption does not hamper economic growth then it is not that bad a thing. You can have a regime with little corruption but poor economic policy which is worse as then there is next to no growth. Massive amounts of corruption usually leads to poor economic growth as the money...

You must have missed my thread recently where BD exports to India in first 3 months of this fiscal were up over 60% from the same period last year. BD and India are close economic partners as both realise that they need each other to develop. India will only hamper it's own economic...

I am not going to spoon feed you as you need to do your own research. BD has been gradually reducing tariffs and it is no great loss if Walton lost it's market share in motorcycles as it may be spreading itself too thin. Walton is doing excellently in consumer electronics and needs to focus on...

Err, it does not work in a still largely poor and illiterate population. BD in 2022 is not ready for democracy, especially in these difficult economic times when any charlatan can promise them the world. Let BD think about democracy in 2030 as now is still too early.

Did China know where the ship was initially and was that ship making evasive manouvres and trying to bring down the ASBM?

As it was not an actual war and there is a tiny chance of an accidental strike that could lead to a major crisis between the US and China. Study the physics and you will understand the chances of a successful strike are miniscule.

lol at those Chinese and some of their foreign friends thinking that the Chinese ASBMs have any more than a miniscule chance of hitting an US aircraft carrier. We have already discussed that the process of identifying and then tracking an unknown moving fleet hundreds of kms out at sea is very...

The dimwits we see here on pdf talk the loudest and luckily there are plenty of smart and hardworking people in BD growing the economy at some of the fastest rates in the world. None of them have the ability to think for themselves and they copy and paste buzzwords like "checks and balances"...
