League (- forecast by a UK-based global Economics and Business Research
organization.)
• The small nation has made massive strides forward in economy over the
period of last decade.
• Bangladesh is no longer a basket with no bottom. In fact it would not be
an attempt of building castles in the air to believe that Bangladesh will see
her golden age of economy within the next decade.
