B.s, that money prolly went towards paying loans.

Best comparative ratio should be done over other parameters.

E.g

Dollar - output - gdp - economic growth/productivity.

If any decent study was done in the above categories and cross comparison you will find not much real growth or productivity. Just what u.s can extract from bdesh.

If you the same for other countries like Japan, China, Russia and possibly a hand full of other countries you will find more real tangible growth.

So out if 1 trillion, Bangladesh gets only 4.3 billion. That’s 0.4%.

Hmm

I think they are trying to put in QUAD propaganda, China remains the biggest source of FDI in Bangladesh.

US should try to match China in that regard!
