| Summary: | This report was prepared for the PRSP
Implementation Forum (November 15-17), in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
It covers recent macroeconomic developments and draws on
recent and ongoing World Bank research and analysis
undertaken in the areas of Governance, Finance and Trade,
Public Administration, Infrastructure and Human Development.
The report notes that Bangladesh has some impressive and
sustained socio-economic trends - which outperform many
South Asian and other developing countries, but formidable
challenges remain notably on governance issues. However, the
Government is beginning to implement a broad-based reform
program to tackle governance issues, with donor support and
in the area of economic management, it has maintained
macroeconomic stability and pushed forward the structural
reform agenda despite a difficult political environment.
These efforts have produced relatively favorable development
outcomes. The report specifically details Bangladesh's
progress on the governance agenda, including actions to
improve transparency and public expenditure efficiency,
responsiveness, revenue mobilization, anti-corruption, and
the justice system reform. It also focuses on progress in
reducing governance impediments to improve investment
climate and empowering the poor. Besides describing
preliminary PRSP implementation measures, the report
spotlights the country's export growth and competitiveness. |
