Dhaka remains 7th least liveable city globally 2023

[protean]

I never said that. It is you and your baddies that are denigrating Dhaka's infrastructure. Show me any post from here where I have mocked any infrastructure of any Indian city? Dhaka has more GDP than any Indian city barring Mumbai and Delhi, but infrastructure wise it is behind. This is due to low public investment. Urban infrastructure was quite neglected in Bangladesh until a few years ago while India focused more on urban infrastructure. Even today, most of the mega infrastructure projects in Bangladesh are outside of cities. Tax to GDP ratio in Bangladesh is one of the lowest in the World. So Bangladesh govt. has low capacity to invest in infrastructure. India's per capita infrastructure spending is twice of Bangladesh and Indian govt. has long records of prioritizing cities over villages.

So, we don't feel any awe if Indian big cities have better roads, airports or bigger network of Metrorail than Dhaka.

As long as you know the realities. . Indian government doesn't spend a penny on Indian cities. It's the states that manage cities. GOI only spends on national highways.

Stop faking GDP numbers, then may be you'll have respectable tax to GDP numbers. Even for this fiscal, your tax collection so far is up only 5.9% with inflation at 10% and growth claimed to be about 6%. Effectively the tax to GDP ratio already abysmal has gotten rock bottom. Fake GDP numbers will fall apart going forward.

NBR has to realise Tk 900b in June

An uphill task it looks as the revenue authority has to realise nearly Tk 900 billion in revenue in June to reach the target for this fiscal year, passing through financial austerity. Its track record shows the National Board of Revenue (NBR) is left to go cracking on sources in the final month...

Not even them, City Development Authorities do.

It's still under construction - idiots everywhere....

Indians run an economy eight times larger than us and with an almost ten times larger population.

Sad to see they are left measuring schwanzes with us....

Because? China door ast !!

Come back with actual pictures than renders when claiming development.

It seems you know better about Bangladesh's GDP than IMF, World Bank?

According to IMF, Bangladesh's nominal GDP this year is $420 billion. This GDP figure is in line with other economic indicators like $58 billion merchandise export, $75 billion merchandise import, $30 billion Forex, $24 billion remittance and $71 billion Dollar budget (real spending at the end of year would be around $60 billion though). Per Capita GDP also in line with household consumption and expenditure survey conducted this year. Faking Household consumption and expenditure is not easy given it is not a vast, census like exercise rather conducted on around 100,000 people to gauze the overall picture.

So drastic manipulation of GDP number is not possible without getting caught by native economists or global institutions like IMF and World Bank.

So, Bangladesh's nominal GDP can not be less than $400 billion Dollar.

In what consumption is Bangladesh ahead in per capita terms?

It’s your pdf brothers who spread the fake gdp propaganda.

Blame the pdf Bangladeshis not Hinduvta for undercounting your GDP.

This Hinduvta turd is only quoting your pdf brothers!!!

Actually, one pdf Bangladeshi thinks your gdp is a mere 250 billion!

In what consumption is Bangladesh ahead in per capita terms?

Use of Toilets, fresh water and beef?

How is it in line? Compare it with India. India's tax collection, budget spending, remittances, overall trade numbers, and reserves. You'll have your answers.

IMF will pare through your fake GDP just as they pare through fake reserves. Wait till it is done.

Bangladesh with it's bare minimum domestic collections will not have enough capital spending for growth. With US on their backs, new foreign funding will be scarce. Foreign loans will be expensive with credit ratings downgrade. No FDI is coming with meager reserves of $25 billion as they may feel trapped if they take their dollar investment there. Remittances too are not keeping pace, which is what happens when you peg your currency and export illiterate manual labor around the world. Bangladesh is going down a bad road. BBS fakery is not going to help it.

India has robust tax collection for many decades, probably a positive outcome of it's socialist, autarchic policy in the past. Unlike Bangladesh, it also could not depends on foreign aid to deliver budget due to it's sheer size. So it has to depends on domestic resources unlike Bangladesh in the past when Bangladesh's most of the budget money came from foreign aid. So Bangladesh was complacent to neglect tax collection, govt. earned little, spent little since independence. But now it is becoming a problem that can no longer be ignored.

India developed an efficient tax collection system many decades ago. It's tax GDO ratio is even better than richer economies in South East Asia like Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan etc. Now don't tell me they are fudging GDP number but getting caught due to low tax GDP ratio than India.

Development trajectory of India and Bangladesh is totally different. All things can not be compared one to one basis without looking at historical context.

Arey yaar, there is a lot of fudging. You don't have to convince me otherwise. Just continue to prove me wrong. I have given you my reasoning for low growth in Bangladesh going forward. There is going to be lot of depreciation of currency by 2025-2026.

Because India is yet to rebase its economy, once that happens, our tax to GDP ratio will go down a bit with increase in GDP.

This coward is lurking only in Bangladeshi forums supporting Bango view and is not seen in other Indian threads. With @Indialite as username, how dumb and unimaginative one can be. @UKBengali Have some shame.

I think they'll rebase it to 2022-23 base year. Otherwise they'll directly do it in 2024-25, India could be well past 5 trillion then.

No one can top economic fakery like Modi's consultants. They take the cake- Bangladesh is way behind and are amateurs.

Take a look at how numbers were faked at a difference of 100% and in one case, almost 300%

Then tell me how you are discovering fudging that even independent Govt. economic critic in Bangladesh like CPD or PRI could not locate? They are not disputing the GDP number rather talking about low tax GDP ratio. They are not urging govt. to come out with ''real'' GDP so tax GDP ratio looks better.

You seems to hell bent on pushing this fake GDP narrative despite could not give any concrete prove. Do not act you know everything about Bangladesh economy and those guys sitting in all those national and global institutions can not fathom anything and willingly getting mislead.

Instead of theorizing - take a cheap plane ride to Dhaka and see for yosself where things are at...

Talk is cheap....there is a reason why IMF and world bank are all saying Bangladesh economic numbers per capita will continue to be ahead of India in the years to come.

. 2015 article? @Homo Sapiens this idiot claims India is fudging GDP with such record collections and trade numbers. What must he think of your shitty collections and your GDP then? How do you get these brain dead zombies in your country. This moron keeps coming to all India threads, berating India with no shame even after so many insults. Half the animosity between Indians and Bangladeshis on this forum is because of this dumbo.

Then tell me how you are discovering fudging that even independent Govt. economic critic in Bangladesh like CPD or PRI could not locate?

Half of them do. Rest of them, don't want to antagonize the government. You know how it goes in Bangladesh if you are perceived anti GOB.

Like I said, just wait for few years, all will be in the open. If I am wrong, I will admit it then.
