I don’t think any country has had a growth trajectory during my lifetime quite like Bangladesh.
In just a few short decades, it pulled itself from one of the lowest rungs on the ladder of poverty, to a soaring economy.
Some predict that Bangladesh is on its way to continue this rise, and will being a trillion dollar, upper-middle income country by 2040, surpassing Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines.
But to get there, it will have to contend with a few things. Like climate change, and the fact that in order to keep growing, many Bangladeshis were subject to really difficult lives.
