Quarterly Economic Update - Bangladesh
Asian Development Bank | June 2010
Abstract
The lagged effects of the global economic recession reduced growth of the country’s two major growth drivers—exports and remittance inflows. Nevertheless, the Bangladesh economy attained a 6.0% GDP growth in FY2010 (according to the Ministry of Finance sources). This was the result of buoyant domestic demand, underpinned by an expansionary fiscal policy, and rapid credit growth. Production of aman (monsoon crop) showed healthy growth. The government continued broad-based policy support to strengthen the incentive regime in agriculture. The industry sector performed well, although its growth potential is held back by acute shortages of power, gas, and other basic infrastructure. The services sector performance also improved.
