Dhaka more expensive than many South Asian cities: EIU

[N.Siddiqui]

Now the plan is no longer to make cheap clothing for the big brand but to build own global brand for Bangladesh and move to other industries and sector. Bangladesh is aiming to earn more through software development then RMG by 2030.

Pakistan is facing the same problems vis a vis exploitation of cheap lobor and resources by the big multinationals.

Take the example of sports industry, Pakistan made footballs are exported world over, made in Sialkot Pakistan with extensive and painstaking labor and most of the profits, due to branding is taken over by the likes of Adidas, Nike and other big brands. Few people knew the 'Brazuca' footballs made in Pakistan is used in last football world cup and in many earlier world cups.

In textiles same thing in RMG industry. Yes in home textiles the situation is different...as the name of the company manufacturing it say bed sheets is there, like Al Karam or Gul Ahmed textiles...in pret it is different.

Yeah, but till then Bangladesh is an LDC country. Nothing to be proud of.

Bangladesh is not that advanced as a country nor is it that developed.

Bhai they are south asians they can milk a bull

 

[N.Siddiqui]

Sorry, but there are some Bangladeshis who are doing some chest thumping that Bangladesh is almost as urbanized as Pakistan. lol.

yeah fine but no need to compete with them in chest thumping...one can chart his own course of action and still look pragmatic and decent.

S

I think Pakistan has potential to be included in LDC. Socio-economic indicators are worse than Bangladesh and a lot of other LDC. But big population size saved it.If Pakistan had 50-60 million people only , than it would have surely included in LDC.

Stop spouting garbage here!

Pakistan is a much better country than Bangladesh on most social indicators infrastructure, manufacturing, etc.
Should I make a list of reasons why Pakistan is a much better country than Bangladesh and report you for trolling?

Sorry, but there are some Bangladeshis who are doing some chest thumping that Bangladesh is almost as urbanized as Pakistan. lol.

What I have provided is the data from world bank which shows clearly that Bangladesh is not much behind Pakistan in urbanization.Chest thumping was when some Pakistani claimed, Bangladesh has only one city and Pakistan has in gazillions.

What's ur point mate. Has anybody claimed Bangladesh as an advanced and developed country? Is Pakistan a developed country? No, actually not a single country from this Indian subcontinent is developed or technologically advanced.

Expensive city is not any badge of honor. Although there is a co-relation between being expensive and developed economy.But this does not apply to lower developed country.

If you bring any Western city or city from Developed country- I will agree..but expensive city in sub- continent is more like a curse..

Dhaka has to be the worst city in the world right now. It has become almost unlivable.
Distance between utrara and khilkhet won't be more than two kilometres but it takes almost 2 hours for me to pass this small distance. A pathetic city to live in from almost every possible angle.

Why dont you walk?

 

[Centaur]

You have one city lol

Chittagong is almost same developed as Dhaka .

 

[El Sidd]

Chittagong is almost same developed as Dhaka .

Lol is Dhaka developed?

 

[Centaur]

Lol is Dhaka developed?

Man why you are pushing? I have just informed you that we have two major cities not one , that's all .
I never want to be the part of such argument that which cities are developed or not and also never going to take part in such argument that if our city is developed or not . You can find other bd folks for this argument. Thanks .
