On that front, it is disappointing to see that Bangladesh has failed to improve its ranking in the Global Connectedness Index (GCI) released by DHL, the German logistics company. The report, based on trade, flow of capital, and information, showed no change in Bangladesh’s connectivity with other countries for the past two years, remaining at 140th among 169 countries, scoring 34 out of 100. However, as our ranking on this index shows, we need to do better. Therefore, Bangladesh needs to make its business environment more friendly, with fewer barriers and greater ease of doing business. Our country is on the verge of a significant turnaround, and we should make sure we do everything within our abilities to realize our vision.
