No, Samsung is not leading the home electronics market in BD. That goes to domestic company Walton which is far and away in No. 1 position overall. As for this "factory" it is just assembling some cars from knock-down kits. BD has no need to encourage private car ownership or any associated...

^^^^ Well BD is at 460 billion US dollars in 2022. Assuming 8% sustained growth rates for the next 10 years which is realistic as the economic expansion will keep it's slow acceleration by 1% a year per decade since the 1980s: 460 x 1.08^10 = 1 trillion US dollars So by 2032 BD could and...

Pakistani mindset is still back in many centuries ago and not caught up to even the 20th century, let alone the 21st century. As an example of how far back its mindset is, more than 50% of Pakistanis marry either their first cousin or 2nd cousin. In BD it is less than 1%. Only advanced and...

Comeon, this dude is now pro-Jamatt when he spends all his time slagging off Islam. :lol: If Jamatt can help get rid of Hasina and put his people in government, then he is all for them.. All he cares about is his own selfish interests and has no principles to speak of.

I meant in terms of percentage of GDP. BD spends around 1.2%-1.3% of GDP and in 10-15 years time the actual amount is going to be quite big. BD needs a lot of money to buy new hardware and so the rapidly increasing defence budget will be able to pay for this. BD largest trading partner will...

Yep, gas can also flow from Indonesia and the cost won't be too much as the distances are not that great. Indonesia and BD are two of the largest Muslim countries in the world and we are both only interested in economic development with low defence spending. In time if the trade is similar...

@Indos I would like there to be more trade between BD and Indonesia. BD should be importing as much coal, foodstuffs and manufactured products like aerospace as possible and exporting garments, home electronics and pharma in return. Indonesia and down the line BD have/will have large enough...

I think Indonesia is going to do well but probably will peak at high-middle income levels sometime in the 2040s. It seems to have a stable democratic system but that in itself will hamper its development - growth dropped from 7% per annum average under dictatorship to 5% under democracy. BD...

BD's economy is very well positioned now. Most of it's export items are "essentials" and there is a robust and rapidly growing domestic market that will allow BD companies to rapidly expand their revenues over this decade.

I think 15 years is a realistic target to catch up Indonesia. For this to happen BD would need to grow it's per capita GDP 3% a year more than Indonesia. It seems that BD could realistically hit 8% sustained once the current economic difficulties are over while Indonesia should be able to grow...

Nope, that happened just a few years ago and like I say it would have been recorded and so you have a history of abusing the negative rating system - mind you, you and that other "Think Thank Analyst" probably set the record for negative ratings in that "debate" you had with each other.

I am sure your history on the forum with frivolous negative ratings due to not being able to maturely handle debate has been recorded.

Dude, you need to stop acting like a cry baby. You cannot handle robust debate and I remember you and this other "Think Tank Analyst" years ago negatively rating each other lol

Good, let them come here and see who got personal first here. If you seriously think I was "belligerent" then you have lost any perspective here.

You will be reported like the other "Think Tank Analyst" who had to eat humble pie in the end. Pathetic and you got upset as you cannot counter my points and so abused that power you were given.

Please state the forum rule that I have broken. Your subjective opinion is not breaking any forum rule btw. lol I am going to give you 24 hours to remove it as otherwise I will need to report this to the admins.

Dude, what's with the negative rating? What forum rule have I broken? I suggest for your own sake you apologise and retract it as otherwise this is going to make you look foolish like I did with another "Think Tank Analyst" years ago who had to eat humble pie.

I gathered that you would be reading through the posts and so thought it was pointless to tag you. You need to be honest and you are at least sub-conciously trying to make a comparison between BD and Pakistan - there never fundamentally was as BD is a modern nation state while Pakistan is...

Don't worry about that poster as his pride is not allowing him to see that BD is a totally different league to Pakistan. Fun Fact - the average BD'shi would have THREE times higher living standards than a Pakistani in 15 years according to all forecasts published so far. It really is an insult...

BD could hit 1 trillion in today’s prices in the early 2030s.
