Bangladesh’s GDP is expected to grow 6.9 per cent in fiscal year 2021-22, according to the Asian Development Bank (ADB).The growth forecast reflects a rebound in external trade and recovery in domestic economic activities fueled by the implementation of stimulus packages and increased remittance, the Manila-based bank said in the Asian Development Outlook 2022 (ADO 2022) released on Wednesday. Inflation is expected to increase to 6 per cent in FY2022 from 5.6 per cent in 2021 as price pressures are increasing from global food and fuel prices along with the implementation of stimulus measures, according to the report.The current account deficit is also likely to widen from 0.9 per cent of the GDP in FY21 to 2.7 per cent in FY22 on the back of an increase in imports and a decline in remittance growth.
The main risk to this growth projection is higher prices for oil and imports, and the loss of export sales beyond those built in the present forecasts, mainly due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the ADB said. The report stated that the ongoing socio-economic recovery needs to be accelerated by enhancing domestic resource mobilization, incentivizing the private sector to create products and services, promoting modern green technologies, and fostering knowledge and innovation. Building climate resilient infrastructure and services, introducing carbon tax on fossil fuels, and promoting green investments will help to further advance the current policy initiatives for managing climate change for inclusive and sustainable green growth.
