[extra terrestrial]

What is the GDP (PPP) of Dhaka and Chittagong in 2014?
Wiki reports $217 billion for Dhaka, $104 billion for Chittagong. How authentic it is?

@extra terrestrial @Bilal9

They are just user generated figures. According to CCCI, Chittagong's contribution to national economy is at least 25%, so Chittagong's GDP could be around $125 billion.

Not sure about Dhaka.

I overlooked PPP part, so deleted my post. Anyways, good going Bangladesh. I have met Bangladeshis abroad as well as who have moved to India..hindus from 47/71 or muslims immigrants, illegal though . Found them hard working, simple and intelligent. Bangladesh has great future ahead. It just needs to mind its business and not get into any mess with india china jihad etc.

Dude indians always bring out fake or outdated figures, first they will say its $130bn then when you tell them its $186bn they will say prove it so then you show them the IMF est, then they will compare Bangladeshi GDP with Maharastra, conveniently not comparing to say UP the heartland of india.

No big deal, We Bangladeshis are proud of who we are (even those who are half Bangladeshi), n when people show disrespect to our country we just have to reply, its in the blood....

not all. Meet Indians in real life - few will be good and few bad. that is the actual representation. Here on an online forum there would be false flaggers and people who will attack all from other countries.
I am not a bong but have met and worked with quite a few. One thing I have observed is that bongs who belong to eastern side are more hardworking and simple. It could be my false perception too and would not like to discuss this. I do not have any intention to belittle or abuse any one.
