Chapter 1 in The Economy of Bangladesh, 2015, pp 1-9 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Bangladesh has an estimated population of approximately 156 million (in 2014) which makes it the 8th largest nation on earth. Its economic and political influence in the world is nothing commensurate to its population size and perhaps not even proportionate to its rank among nations according to the size of its economy — 57th in nominal dollar value and 41st in purchasing-power-parity dollar value as estimated by the World Bank for the year 2013. It is not a supplier of energy or of any other commodity critical to the world economy, and its location does not currently endow it with significant geopolitical importance.
