Economy

Bangladesh has come a long way in the past 50 years, transforming from one of the poorest countries in the world to the second largest economy in South Asia after India. Poverty has been cut in half and primary school enrolment is now nearly universal, whilst hundreds of thousands of women have entered the workforce. The country has also made progress in maternal and child health and is better prepared to face the destructive forces of climate change and natural disasters. To continue this progress and promote further economic growth, Bangladesh is making investments in energy, inland connectivity, urban projects and transport infrastructure, as well as prioritizing climate change adaptation and disaster preparedness.
