To be graduated as a middle-income state within 2021, Bangladesh needs to increase its GDP growth to nearly about 8 percent. But at present it is hovering around 5.5 percent which is lower than the level predicted by our finance minister. Some factors are closely linked to increase or decrease of the GDP growth rate. Investment is an important factor. Investment is also interlinked with some factors like political atmosphere, infrastructure, power & energy. Though the government allocates funds for infrastructure upgrading, but it has so far produced no tangible results. Better performance is needed in this respect.
