Abstract
Bangladesh has been experiencing a steady increase in the growth rate of real GDP since independence, accelerating from an average of less than 4% per year during 1972-1990 to 6.5% in 2010-2016. Bangladesh is one of the sixteen countries that have to strive for a journey to get herself out of LDC and at the same time to secure the middle income status (WDI 2016 database). This growth performance is overwhelming considering the low initial base. It is a matter of great surprise that it has successfully managed to continue 6% growth rate since 1996. Moreover, the country hits the highest 7.11% growth rate in fiscal year 2017-2018. The average growth rate of output for 1981-2014 is 4.89% while its population has grown by around 1.99% (source: http://data.gov.bd/dataset) every year over the same period.
