Abstract: Abstract The rate of growth of GDP in Bangladesh has picked up in recent years. During the period 1980–1990, it grew at an average annual rate of 3.7 per cent, barely exceeding the population growth rate; but subsequently, during the period 1999–2004, it exceeded an average annual rate of 5 per cent, to reach about $54 billion in the fiscal year 2003–2004. The investment/GDP ratio increased from 17 per cent to 23 per cent; within this, the ratio of public investment to GDP remained stagnant, at around 7 per cent, while that of private investment increased from 10 per cent to 17 per cent.
