Panorama económico e industrial
Bangladesh is a lower-middle-income economy in South Asia with a nominal GDP of approximately $450 billion, making it one of the largest economies in the region. The country's growth has been driven predominantly by the ready-made garments (RMG) sector, which accounts for the vast majority of merchandise exports, alongside a growing pharmaceutical industry, remittances, and an expanding services sector. Agriculture, particularly rice and jute production, remains a significant employer even as its share of GDP has declined. The economy has faced headwinds in recent years including elevated inflation, balance-of-payments pressures, and financial sector vulnerabilities, though long-term structural growth fundamentals remain intact. Bangladesh is classified as a frontier market, with the Dhaka Stock Exchange serving as the principal capital market.
