Bangladesh Becoming a Middle-Income Country, Ceasing to be a Least Developed Country: Clarifying Confusion

Debapriya Bhattacharya and Sarah Sabin Khan

No 1, CPD Policy Brief from Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD)

Abstract: Bangladesh will attain middle-income status by 2021 – which it already did – and Bangladesh will leave the LDC group by 2021, a technically impossible target. The confusion affects both high-level policymakers and political leaders, though it is not obvious whether inadequate comprehension or just political rhetoric has led to the confusion.
