The country’s leading chamber said this in its review on Economic Situation in Bangladesh (October-December 2016 period), terming the country’s overall economic situation positive. “The country experienced stable economic growth. The share of the industry sector in GDP increased by 1.12 percentage points to 31.54 in FY16 from 30.42% in FY15. MCCI said the service sectors were doing well, but these will also need the government support in specific areas. “To attain faster economic growth, the government will have to improve the country’s road and rail infrastructure, develop port facilities, increase power and gas production and remove other infrastructure bottlenecks,” observed the trade body.
