Reports

• Bangladesh a competitive country now
  Bangladesh, for the first time since its independence, has become one of the competitive countries of the world. The World Economic Forum (WEF), a Geneva- based organisation, has put Bangladesh for the first time in the Growth Competitiveness Index(GCI). Peter Cornelius, Director of the Global Competitiveness Programme of WEF said," It reflects the rising integration of developing countries into the global economy." 
  "Bangladesh, though ranking near the bottom of the Growth Competitiveness Index (GCI) scale, showed tremendous potential for growth if it is able to enhance its political and technological capacities under the auspices of stable macroeconomics," the WEF said in its Global Competitiveness Report 2001 which was released yesterday. In the GCI index, Bangladesh ranked 73rd position.
