Economy, Geography, History, and culture of Bangladesh
 Bangladesh economy
Not long ago Bangladesh was the richest country in the world.
At present the country has been achieving annual GDP growth rate at
above six percent for the last few years. It will become a
middle-income country by the year, 2015. In its Global Economics Paper
(issue number 134 published on December 1, 2005) Goldman Sachs
economic researchers of the USA have placed Bangladesh among the
“Next 11” countries after Brazil, Russia, India, and China
(BRIC), which have the potential to be substantial economies in the
next decades. The World Bank fact sheet 2005-2006 says that Bangladesh
is tenth most rapidly growing economy among 31 large developing
countries. According to the Goldman Sachs, if Bangladesh remains
on track in economic reforms it could become the 22nd largest economy
in the world in the year 2025, less than 20 years from now. The per
capita income in Bangladesh by PPP (Purchasing Power Parity) is US$
2000 (two thousand); and by Atlas Method US$ 690 (2009). Once you visit
the country, you will be surprised seeing the beautiful ever green
landscape of it; the ever smiling friendly people; and how much the
country differs, in reality, from your idea about it! The people of
Bangladesh are one of the most liberal nations in the world.

Music and dance. The traditional Bangladeshi
music shares the perspectives of that of the Indian sub-continent.
The musical tradition of Bangladesh is lyrics-based, with minimal
instrumental accompaniment. Bangladeshi dance forms
draw mainly from folk traditions of the country, as well as
from the North Indian classic dance tradition. Among the tribal dances,
particularly popular are, Monipuri, and ‘Santal’.
The culinary tradition of Bangladesh has its
