Bangladesh looks to turn the tide after pandemic batters economybdnews24.com :For Bangladesh, 2020 began with plenty of cause for optimism against the backdrop of political stability coupled with a burgeoning economy. And for this, the government should pay attention to different kinds of economic reforms, according to Ahsan H Mansur, executive director of Policy Research Institute. Bangladesh has targeted an 8.2 percent GDP growth in fiscal 2019-20 after smooth progress to 8.15 percent in 2018-19. With the economy almost fully reopened, the government has stuck by its annual GDP growth target of 8.2 percent in FY21. But Bangladesh "can never" achieve an 8.2 percent GDP growth unless some big development is made, he said.
