Growth or Stagnation? -A review of Bangladesh’s development 1996

In this volume a panel of eminent experts, most of whom contributed to IRBD 1995, have focused their attention on the developments and changes in Bangladesh economy in Fiscal Year 1995-1996. The IRBD 1996 is an indepth analysis of some of the major issues challenging the economy. The volume presents a wealth of information on the development process and draws attention to the immediate tasks which need to be addressed in the near future if the economy is to graduate to a sustainable growth path. It is hoped that the current volume will be use to the new government as well as the parliament as they address the formidable task of improving the quality of governance in Bangladesh. This volume, as was the case with its predecessor, will also be useful to students, experts and policy makers who will be exposed to a challenging analysis of the current state of the economy in Bangladesh, the quality of public expenditure and the long-term impact of policies in areas such as environment and the position of women in society. IRBD 1996 covers thirteen themes which include Macro economy, Financial Sector, Fiscal Sector, Poverty, External Sector, Agriculture (both crop and non-crop), Industry, Education, Health, Population, Gender, Environment and Quality of Public Investment. The last three themes are new to the IRBD and provide a basis for a continuing discussion on these issues in future IRBDs.
