Bangladesh, once a ‘hopeless’ economy, is leaving Pakistan behind

[Baby Leone]

another madarsa degree holder....quality of posts shows the education level.......
counter my post with facts/logic.....jihadi/fasadiyon ka zamana gaya



Please donot compare jihadi shithole with India...........
In south asia Pakistan is in league with Nepal & BD........I guess BD will soon overtake Pak

Again madarsa logic......
Average Indian diet has more calorie than Average Pakistani
Average Indian earns More has access to better infrastructure

Do sore research on the nutrition/diet trends by nations

SMH at the stupidity being displayed here.

Keep argueing and d@ck measuring amongst yourselves Muslims.

They are loving it.

 

[rustom]

Bullshit. Pakistan is a way better country than Bangladesh is.

wow.

 

[Nilgiri]

Dude, I have a job and a life and do not have time to spend hours and hours analyse data.

Yes hence why BBS is there to super-credibly do that, and now come to a conclusion (that now you have to somehow defend lol) that the average BD person is WORSE OFF than 6 years ago.

Each household is consuming LESS CALORIES than it did 6 years ago.

Why the hell did you bring poor @doorster into this reply lol.

BD is the fastest growing 100 million+ population economy in the world and your fabled GDP per capita PPP statistics confirm that. You keep referring to per capita PPP as being the only reliable measure but ignore it when it comes to BD.

Its definitely more reliable than the nominal (with all that inflation) crap BD puts out directly thats for sure...but its no absolute, esp if we are to take it to mean for the broad 99% of BD people.

I mean your purchasing power parity per capita (even as flawed as the base nominal is) can simply be propelled by the 1% elite right? In fact thats exactly what BBS is saying:

Then add to that the absolute wretched state of BD financial sector:

And you lot seriously want to re-base your GDP with all this going on

@Cookie Monster the state of BD "progress" is mostly (maybe even entirely) bad accounting of inflation, please also refer to:

https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/govt-turned-banking-sector-an-orphan-cpd.556072/#post-10458568

Pakistan for better or for worse in its GDP growth etc... is not seeing a calorie intake decline among its households or 100%+ (because there seems to even be an extraction away form the poor in BD ...forget status quo stasis) ...caused by growth going to just the very rich (and they just dump the inflation on the poor and on the financial sector to try increase loans by the flawed GDP denominator before the bubble bursts)....because Pakistan does not launder inflation into its GDP base reference (at least to the extent BD clearly is now).

All this according to the same BBS that was used to make this assertion of "leaving behind Pakistan". You are free to see what I mean in the coming years when more and more SHTF from this dissonance, inflation laundering, declining household (broad 99% population) consumption (EVEN IN CALORIE INTAKE) and financial sector stasis....and inability of BD to reform these crucial areas to get ahead of the (socioeconomic and quite probably political) bubble.

@Chak Bamu @django @Desert Fox @Ocean @bluesky

Superb as always @Nilgiri

Nothing talks like data properly interpreted and I marvel at your facility with economic data.

I am very pessimistic about Pakistan at the moment with all the institutional dysfunction spreading like cancer. But your interpretation of Bangladesh's economic figures is a revelation. I did not know BBS was doing such great figure fudging.

If Pakistan gets a handle on the institutional dysfunction, then there is absolutely no doubt that Pakistan would be far ahead of Bangladesh. Otherwise, Bangladesh has an edge due to being characterized as a Least Developed Nation and getting preferential treatment as an exporter of garments.

 

[Bilal9]

Claims and counter-claims to the contrary - the facts about Bangladesh are always on the ground. The defense spending increases are real. Bridges, highways, rail-lines, ports being built by the scores is real. No amount of naysaying can change that.

I divide my time between California and Dhaka, while I haven't been to Pakistan itself.

I have seen what is going on in Bangladesh.

I seriously doubt the Sanghi trolls here have.

As usual in their 'ishtyle' they BS a lot on theory and abstract thought.

There is a lot happening in Bangladesh - uniting naysayers and detractors of various stripes railing against Bangladesh in subcontinental fashion. I know the pattern.

There is an awful lot of heartburn and soul-searching among my Pakistani friends in California nowadays regarding Pakistan. I hear this at parties all the time. But also good things are happening.

I don't want to evangelize anything in either way. The future will be what it will be - arguments notwithstanding.

I only wish the very best for Pakistan and Pakistanis.

 

[Avicenna]

Stop keeping score and keep playing the game.

If the gdp grows, and calorie or food intake do not increase, it is simply contradictory.

Well, unless the nation does diet control.

If price increases more compared to income it happens. Whatever the income of people was in 2011 definitely it increased substantially in 2016 so is the price of necessary commodities. So what people will do? They are consuming less but all the money has gone into the hand of the syndicates and middleman.

So what is your opinion... Pakistan has still higher per capita GDP compared to Bangladesh? Or ahead of it in certain indicators?

 

[Michael Corleone]

And still physically consuming a level of 2000 more dollars per capita than you with all that happening....dayum!

@Desert Fox @django @El Sidd @Imran Khan @Ocean

IN 70+ years I expect them to be at india’s Level... terrorism is no excuse... India faced the same threat if not more and still did better

Listen douchebag, nobody cares about a crappy country called Bangladesh. Not some unimportant country.

Pakistan is a way better country than Bangladesh.

Now go to a Bengali forum so you can rant over there.

If you want to go to potty mouth mode than you too listen you f*ckwid yee *** c*ckslut, nobody cares about Pakistan either... except when it tries to grab some attention using India card...

People of respective nations think they’re better than the rest... which is irrelevant

Now mind your own business because the internet is a free place with freedom of speech which you never experienced in your country.

@Chak Bamu @django @Desert Fox @Ocean @bluesky

Butt-hurt is too painful here.

While you spend your ample free time writing walls of text, China will build another 1.32 GW power station in BD.
I would rather trust real businessmen that are pouring billions into BD than the likes of you.

 

[Skies]

According to IMF report, BD is ahead of PK in per capita GDP. Also according to local analysis, there are indications of data manipulation. So any comparison can be wrong.

Apparently, it does not look that BD is ahead of PK in per capita GDP. They spend a lot. But it (apparently) does not matter, but the numbers do.

And about other indicator, yes BD is better in women empowerment, school enrollment, terrorism index (if there is any, may be it can be calculated by deaths, casualties and economic loss per capita).

Do you understand the concept of "compound wealth"?
Please research and understand this before posting on this topic again.

Really happy as a Pakistani to see Bangladesh progress and hope this translates into improvement in HDI as well as adressing issues of electricity cuts and lesser food prices. So that no Bangladeshi is exploited abroad esp. unskilled workers in Middle East.

Bangladeshi labourers do pathetic jobs like picking garbage and cleaning gutters for Arabs but sustain their taka through forex reserves. Ayub Khan in 1967 refused Malaysia when they offered Pakistani manpower for sanitation workers. He built cadet colleges, universities, dam in Bangladesh. This would really hurt and shame his ego. Most of them are screwed into mountain of debt from acquiring a passport to a job position to a Middle Eastern country. They have to bribe middlemen and end up doing undrpaid work in the most livid conditions. Many die of heart attack at young ages of 25-38 due to this pressure. Hope Bangladeshi elites have some shame and address there rural compatriots being crushed by them.

Dude, BD is in the process of setting up 100 SEZs to cater for employment. BD has also brought it's population increase down to 1 per cent.
An economy that is hitting near 7% per capita growth with massive infrastructure going in and by far the lowest debt in S Asia has little to worry about.
