Note here that, Pakistan achieved per capita GDP PPP 12 years ago of what Bangladesh achieved just by now! Before 2009, Pakistan's GDP per capita was even higher than India for all along. So some of the things which Pakistan is much ahead of BD or even India, can be realized from these data. Average Pakistani's asset value is twice of a Bangladeshi, it is even higher than an Indian. Reflecting the previous comparative prosperity of Pakistanis. Although both Indians and Bangladeshis are closing this asset gap quickly due to faster rise of per capita GDP, still it will take few years for Indians and a longer time for Bangladesh(15 years at least) to achieve parity with Pakistan. For this same reason Pakistan's household electricity connection and ownership of some other household durable and non durable goods is more than Bangladesh or India. On naked eyes, Pakistan looks much prosperous country than Bangladesh or even in some cases than India. Pakistan's road infrastructure development is also much ahead of Bangladesh and only recently India catched up with them. So although we are touching Pakistan in per capita GDP within next few years, but it will take some more year to reflect that closing on the ground.
