The biggest advantage we can gain - especially with this US administration trying to revive US agricultural output (in this case - cotton production for using in apparel production in Indonesia and Bangladesh which will be marketed and sold in the US) - is an assured market for our apparel in...

The govt. does not want to needle loan defaulters too much - because most of their own MPs (BNP in our case) and their friends are big schemers of securing loans without collateral. Gorai Golod. How does a bank official process a loan without collateral? I'm sure they are getting a cut of the...

I believe Japanese management will bring a new standard of efficiency to Dhaka Shahjalal Airport operations - and no doubt the Japanese will charge a pretty penny for this. But expensive or not - Biman needs this training to up their standards to DNATA or EU levels. Biman even after fifty years...

If Khalilur Rahman can bring Bangladesh ASEAN membership, I will send a dozen KG Rashgullas to his household ! And wed all his children, being his Ghatak. :)

As far as Pharma goes, India has no internal indigenous strength and has not built up an API industry. So they are completely dependent on China. They possess no leverage international trade-wise and you are correct, no country (even medium powers) do not consider them trustworthy or...

India has the extra advantage of having an insanely large market, eight times the population of Bangladesh. Naturally - economies of scale-wise, it makes sense to produce more cars there rather than assemble them. Plus they invited major car mfrs. to come to India (Bangalore and TN mostly) for...

Brave boastful words - lot of chest thumping. Let's see what happens. :) Kaam pe saboot milega -baat pe nahi. کام پی ثبوت ملیگا -بات پی نہیں.

Look at these Indians. They know they have zero leverage against Chinese API dependence. Which is their Pharma industry lifeline and could sink their pharma generics export sector to lucrative markets like the US. Yet their chest-thumping idiocy knows no bounds. Dehati khat idiots.

I had the opportunity to take rides on a friend's new BYD Seal vehicle in Dhaka recently. This BYD SUV is every bit as sophisticated as a Tesla Model Y (and for that matter, any Lexus. MBZ, Audi or Infiniti luxury vehicle) in ride refinement, quietness and Noise/Vibration/Harshness (NVH)...

Well that IS a tall order to accomplish realistically to cut off the Chicken's neck. The challenges are not small. Air superiority with proper placement of air assets, and much more importantly - missile and drone indigenous manufacturing superiority need to be considered and put in place. We...

Agreed 100%. Increasing trade with Malaysia, Indonesia and other larger SE Asian countries (as opposed to India) will only benefit Bangladesh.

Bangladesh Inland Water Transportation Corp. has initiated builds of about 6 or 7 mini passenger sea-cruise ships suitable for coastal marine use (within twenty miles of shore). The first one off the yard in Narayanganj, floated and going through interior fitment is MV Shamudra Bilash. Next...
