From the above table we can see that Bangladesh has consistent growth in GDP having several
negative trends in other macroeconomic scenario inflation, unemployment, and balance of trade.
If we look at GDP we can see that GDP of 2011-12 is 409378 core taka which 6.32% higher than
the previous GDP. Then if we look at inflation we can see that inflation has reached at 8.37 that
were 5.56 in period fiscal year. After that if we look at unemployment then we can see that here
is also negative trend which is reached at 5 that was 4.8. On the other hand balance of trade
always remains negative all the period.
Continuous growth is good trend in economy of Bangladesh, but rising inflation along with the
increasing unemployment may be a bed trend for the economy, on the other hand negative
balance of trade always a negative trend for the economy. There are also some factors that also
reduce the GDP rate they are decrease of foreign investment, political instability and so on. So
Government of Bangladesh should take necessary steps for resolving those problem otherwise
we will not meet our Expected GDP which is a great source for economic development.
