Beware of fast growth rate

On the other hand, high-rise buildings for residential flats and luxury shopping centers are also coming up fast in Dhaka (and some other major cities). The demand comes from a very limited rich clientele, while the huge percentage of middle class families cannot afford expensive flats for rent or purchase. Amongst those who have money, there are groups in grey areas, creating unstable foundations.

The question, which naturally crop up is: Can the huge investments be recovered as per planned projections in a least-developed country such as Bangladesh? Islands of prosperity have to be viewed critically in societies where the general standard of living is low, and where the majority live around the poverty line, and almost one half of the population is illiterate. With absence of heavy industries, the rural agribusiness is the major sustainer of the economy, plus the garment exports and dollars earned abroad.

Experts may throw some more light on the topic, for awareness and general knowledge, while the government regulations need the right tone through feedback systems to tackle sudden changes in the market. Even a highly developed nation like Japan had to pass through more than a decade of decline. Economic sine waves are very unpredictable; and slow lanes are observed in many countries.
