Bangladesh's Development
Economic Growth
The estimates of GDP has been under scrutiny for past several years due to
its apparent disjuncture with several other key macroeconomic and
development correlates.
□ Indeed, more than half of the provisional GDP estimates are not based on
credible real time data.
■At a turbulent time for economy, in view of the unprecedented impact of
the COVID-19 pandemic, lack of real time data weakens realistic estimates
of GDP in a country.
The provisional estimates of GDP in FY22 are likely to carried out with
mostly data for the first six months and may have not captured the
faltering macroeconomic developments in second half of FY22.
For example, the exchange rate assumed for estimating per capita income
(current USD) for FY22 is BDT 85.52 per USD.
It is highly likely to depreciate when the final estimates will be prepared.
