Per capita annual income rises to $1044 in 2012-13

That is in PPP, which takes account of the difference in the values of the prices of goods between countries. For example, if a kg of rice is cheaper in Pakistan than in BD, then if both countries had USD 1,000 per capita income, Pakistanis would be able to buy more rice for the same dollar cost.

With BD at 1044 and Pakistan at around 1300, then the day may not be far away when BD surpasses Pakistan. The current date of this happening will be around 2021 if the growth rates of both countries happen as predicted.:P

Isn't the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) method a better indicator as opposed to Nominal Values which are muddied by the effects of Inflation & Systematic Risk ? :unsure:

That's debatable, the PPP figures alway look a little bloated to me. 4.7 to 5 trillion dollars pe tha hamara last year, the GDP, in PPP terms. :cheesy:

UNDP kiii Human Development Report 2013 kei mutaaabiq tou India ka GDP Per Capita (PPP Terms mein) stands at $3,976.5 Billion (a little under 4 trillion) !

Yeh 4.7 trillion ka figure kahan seiii nikalaaa ? :unsure:

Check the 2012 figures for yourself- both IMF and World Bank figures.

Oh ya, seen that.

But you'd be better served with WB data and IMF too, these are after all the premier banking and monetary institutions of the world.

Btw tumhare babu log kehe rahe the no chance of MFN to India and today DAWN reported that now they're telling IMF that MFN is to be granted. Decide karlo kanjar0n.

Tummm loggg Non Tariff Barriers ki Kameenegiii Khataam Hii Nahin Karteiiii...without that the MFN is just a 3 letter word ! :unsure:
 
I think Indian GDP real growth rate to touch 5% again will take at least 5 more years and India will never see 8% sustained growth

That's a bleak thing to say. And its disastrous for South Asia as a whole if India remains a poor country. Let's hope India's economy can become stronger because its a huge market and possible trading partner.

A country's development depends upon the efforts made by that country's people. Whatever we people hope for India has no relevance to its economic growth.

But, why do you think BD will suffer as a consequence of India's low growth? BD does not depend upon Indian market. It is India that exports more than $4.5 billion worth of goods to BD other than the goods, specially the phencidyle, it smuggles into BD. BD exports only $560 million.

I think its better and stronger for South Asia as a whole to do better. That's the way its worked through put history with all other regions and there's no reason it should be different here. Don't bring in religion here. The only thing that really talks in politics is money and power.

And specifically, you can dislike India but the reality right now is if India gets weaker, they go back to competing with Bangladesh on garments instated of growing their other industries.

Bangladesh needs to hold onto the garments sector cus all the other industries are young and doesn't bring in monster revenues right now. Wishing for India's downfall is like wishing to shoot yourself in the foot. Why do you think China was able to come up so quickly when India didnt do anywhere near as well over the last 30 years? The stability and economic progress in the surrounding region had a big effect for each country. So don't fall for the idiot Indians or equally stupid Bangladeshis wishing each other badly.
