When it comes to economic freedom, Bangladesh ranks 128 out of 186 countries, according to the latest Index of Economic Freedom published by the Heritage Foundation. We must now focus on making improvements in the areas that undermine our economic freedom. This means establishing a stable rule of law, and the reform and proper enforcement of property laws. Widespread corruption and criminality, lack of transparency in bureaucratic proceedings, and political polarisation continue to undermine the many business successes Bangladesh has achieved. Let us improve our economic freedom to unlock the nation’s true potential.
