Liberal trade could boost Bangladesh’s GDP by 14.8%: World Bank study

Unilateral trade and investment liberalisation could boost Bangladesh’s GDP, investment, and exports by 14.8%, 20%, and 63.2%, respectively, according to a World Bank study. Such unilateral reforms will help Bangladesh reduce trade costs and access to cheaper and better-quality imported inputs to boost domestic firms’ competitiveness and output, it says, pointing out that Bangladesh’s trade competitiveness is eroding mainly due to lack of lower export base.For greater market access for exports, Bangladesh needs to explore deeper and comprehensive trade integration within the region and beyond, suggests the report “Bangladesh- Country Economic Memorandum: Change of fabric,” which was disclosed on the bank’s website on Friday.
