Macro Economy– Drivers for Bangladesh economic growth

• Since 2005, Bangladesh has sustained an annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth of approximately 6.3%. This growth can be attributed to the introduction of stable macro-economic and monetary policies, rising industry and service outputs, and a continued high level of remittances coming into the country from the diaspora. In the future, the Government of Bangladesh’s (GoB) maingoal is to generate an overall increase in real GDP growth to 8% per annum and reduce the number of people living in poverty in the country from 40% down to 15% by 2021

• Large domestic market – Bangladesh has a population size of about 160.0 million people in 2012 with growing per capita income and has formed a large domestic market for economic expansion.• Large regional market – The South East Asian and North East Asian countries with a combined large population size of more than 1.9 billion people has formed a large consumermarket to support Bangladesh export goods.
