One key effort must be developing a robust financial sector that can facilitate access to affordable finance for the SME sector.

Despite the odds, Bangladesh has managed to remain neutral amid great power competition and notch rapid economic growth. But the next decade will bring even more challenges.

At the very least, the economic partnership will enable Dhaka to get duty-free or low-tariff access to much larger markets.

Easing lockdown restrictions at a time when coronavirus infections and deaths are surging is ill-conceived, say health experts.

The country has repeatedly beat the odds over the last fifty years to emerge as a leader in South Asia across several fronts.
