Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 77656, member: 636"] Bangladesh economist Mohammad Abdur Razzaque told a conference crowd in Dhaka that the government needs to hustle on diplomatic channels to push back their least developed country graduation because the economy is not ready for what comes after. The Research and Policy Integration for Development chair said whoever wins the election will spend their whole term dealing with banking problems, inflation mess, reserve issues, and the graduation deadline instead of planning long-term stuff. Razzaque thinks the incoming administration should chase EU trade perks, pump out more jobs through their ninth five-year plan, lock down energy for cities and factories, boost export power, and develop workers. NBR chairman Md Abdur Rahman showed up as the main guest while former adviser Rasheda K Chowdhury and industry heads sat through the whole presentation about how delaying action will just make fixes more expensive later.
