Real test of economic progress18 Mar 2025 18:18
To cut to the crux of the article bangla needs action now with building itself inside out instead of this reliance on handouts…..it’s a long way to go and using it’s own resources is a major part of this new look from the interim govt
Bangladesh’s progress over the past decades is undeniably commendable, but the path forward demands a more deliberate and strategic effort. Sustaining this progress requires a firm commitment to financial reform, institutional strengthening and the cultivation of leadership capable of guiding the country through its next phase of development. Globalisation alone cannot be relied upon to sustain growth; internal systems must be resilient enough to weather external shocks and policy shifts in the global economy. The foundational elements of sound finance, good governance and effective leadership must be put in place now, not later.
The trajectory of economic development is neither linear nor guaranteed. History warns us that gains can be fleeting if the foundations are not secure. Bangladesh must take these lessons seriously. Our forebears once achieved global economic prominence, and it is within our reach to reclaim that legacy. But to do so, we must act with urgency and resolve — because if we fail to take the necessary steps today, the burden will inevitably fall on the next generation.
