news desk: Bangladesh’s economic situation may worsen thanks to internal reasons mainly political crisis that will appear in the days to come rather than the external factors, said MM Akash, economics professor of Dhaka University.
“If we can bring in remittances properly again, exports will grow properly and there will be no food crisis. We may not fall into a crisis from this point if the war does not get worse further. But the crisis awaits us is a political crisis.”
The two political parties are all set to face each other and they will take a ‘do or die’ approach in the next national election, which may create a crisis, he said.
He spoke at a discussion on “Bangladesh economy: the way forward” organised by The Daily Star at its office in Dhaka.
