A remarkable change has taken place in composition of direct tax and indirect tax from the year when contributions of direct tax and indirect tax were 25.5% and 74.5%.

15 NATIONAL INVESTMENT Target was set to increase investment to 32.7 percent of GDP in FY , keeping in mind the need for a growing economy. In FY , investment as a share of GDP went up to 30.5 percent, a marginal increase from 29 percent in FY However, the private sectors investment has been almost stagnant since FY Years National Investment (Amount in Crore BDT) Average rate of increase , ,032 20% ,846 23% ,098 23%
16 BALANCE OF PAYMENTS Despite having negative position of all the areas such as balance of trade, service, finance etc, the balance of payment position of the country is surplus. During the year overall Balance of Payment arrived at $ 2058 million. During the year the overall balance of payment position was $ 5036 million. So, balance of payment position for the year has increased compared with that of the year by almost 21% yearly on average. Major contribution of such improved position of balance of payment is the increasing trend of foreign remittance which is being earned by the manpower export in various countries of the world and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).
17 FOREIGN REMITTANCE Year Foreign remittance (USD in million) , , , , , , , , , , , , (July-March) 10,762 In the year 2016 number of manpower export increased 36% against increasing rate 31% in the year 2015 and decreasing rate 4% in the year In the year 2017 such increasing trend was 31%.
18 FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT Year USD in million (Feb) The graphical presentation represents that the trend of FDI in Bangladesh is not stable, it has ups and downs, no doubt the country is lagging behind to attract more FDI in comparison with other neighboring countries.
19 BALANCE OF TRADE
20 FOREIGN CURRENCY RESERVE Sufficient amount of foreign currency reserve is important to enhance the capacity of the central bank of the country to intervene in the foreign exchange market and control any adverse movement and stabilize the foreign exchange rates to provide a more favorable economic environment for the progress of the country. Date Balance of foreign currency reserve (Million USD) 30 June , March , April ,466
21 CREDIT POLICY Up to the end of June 2017 default loan total amount of Tk. 45,527 crore was written off. Taking into consideration of such written off loan total volume of default loan arrived as on September 2017 Tk. 125,834 crore which was 15% of total outstanding loans and advances. It is worthwhile to mention that at the end of the year 2004 amount of total default loan was Tk. 18,727 crore. After thirteen years the amount of default loan increased almost seven times.
22 INFLATION Year/Month Rate of inflation % % % % % % % % % %
23 INFLATION During first half of financial year average inflation rate arrived at 11.31% which appeared to have been abnormally high seems to be higher. Due to satisfactory production of agricultural product, reduction of gap between direct and indirect tax and cautionary monetary policy as taken by the Bangladesh Bank rate of inflation is to some extent downward trend, which is being reflected in the above chart. Though from the above chart it seems that after the FY inflation rates is in downward trend but still it appears to be high.
24 CAPITAL MARKET In national income Capital Market has substantial contribution but till to date this market has not achieved full confidence of the investors. Present volume of market capital of our country is only 34.8% of GDP, in Pakistan it is 36.2% and in Sri Lanka 32.01%. Among last fifteen years three years market capital position is presented below: Year Dhaka Stock Exchange Chittagong Stock Exchange ,126 6,047 13, ,134 97, , , , ,344 Total BDT in Crore

26 HEALTH AND EDUCATION As one of the parameters of economic development it may be mentioned that life expectancy has increased to 72 years in the year 2017 which is equivalent to world average. As regards to literacy rate it is mentionable that despite having some questions about quality of education present literacy rate has reached 73% from 56.5% of the year Major improvement in education sector as taken place is reduction of no passing number of school and college and rate of drop out. In the year 2007 dropout rate was 50.5 % in the year 2016 such rate has come down to 19.2%. Due to development in health and education the country has moved up three steps and ranked 139th out of 188 countries in global human development index As per Human Development Report (HDR)-2015, the countries position was 142nd.
27 POVERTY ALLEVIATION During the year 2005 a substantial part i.e more than 40% of people of the country lived below the poverty level. We will have to admit that in recent past various steps, projects and activities have been taken by the government to reduce the poverty. Continued increasing the budget allocation for social safety (in amount), reduction of fertilizer price, reopening 12,203 community clinics reducing gap of direct and indirect tax, controlling inflation etc are the remarkable steps to reduce the poverty level of the country.
28 POVERTY ALLEVIATION As per economic census report as published by the Bangladesh Statistical Bureau in the year 2013 there remain 56 lakh economic entities in the rural area which are 71% of the total economic entities of the country. In those economic entities total 2 crore 45 lacks people are working as against 1 crore 12 lakh and 70 thousand in the year In the year 2003 the amount of people engaged in the rural economy was 21.52% which has increased to 40.36% in the year 2013.
29 POVERTY ALLEVIATION According to the Global Gender Gap Report as publication by the world economic forum economic opportunity and scope of participation in the economic activity of the women in Bangladesh has improved. Out of 14 index Bangladesh has scored 1 in 4 index. In addition to this it is also mentionable that according to the purchasing power capacity a woman employee/ worker earns Tk. 192,699 as against India Tk. 176,904 and Pakistan Tk. 121,338. As a result of taking various important steps for poverty alleviation during the year 2017 the rate of the poor has come down to 22 percent from 31.5 percent in the year 2010 and rate of the hard core poor has come down to 11.9 percent from 17.6 percent.
30 ECONOMIC INEQUALITY From above analysis it may be undoubtedly opined that the economy of the country is developing. But the major challenge is raising economic inequality through the distribution of income, consumption, wealth or assets. The income inequality is really a considerable concern in Bangladesh.
31 ECONOMIC INEQUALITY
32 ECONOMIC INEQUALITY The value of Gini coefficient varies between 0 meaning perfect equality (where everyone in the society has exactly the same amount of income or asset) and 1 (implying perfect inequality (where a single individual possesses all the income or assets and everyone else nothing).
33 ECONOMIC INEQUALITY Income share (Percent) for the year in five quintile were as follows: Quintile Percent First (bottom) 7.00 Second Third Fourth Fifth (top) Total The value of Gini concentration index was 0.36.
34 ECONOMIC INEQUALITY During last four decades income inequality was widen due to various reason. Out of various reasons remarkable are high level of corruption, abnormal rate of default loan, abnormal rate of inflation, abnormal gap between direct and indirect tax, In certain causes lack of proper use of public fund, low rate of wages and not getting fair price of agricultural products.
35 ECONOMIC INEQUALITY Due to corruption income inequality takes place in different ways and means. Firstly, value addition incase of construction contracts is distorted. If the contract awarded following corrupt practice in one hand high income level people get huge money which is not supposed to get, on the other hand low income level people, especially labour, get less wages. Secondly, due to corrupt practice amount of collection of tax reduces, which creates hindrance to be spent by the government for the poor people. Thirdly, corrupt practice reduces the longevity of the product due to use of less quality material, which reduces the income of the poor people (for example, if the embankment are not constructed by quality materials, it is divested by flood and occurs damage of crops of poor people).
36 ECONOMIC INEQUALITY Other reason of increasing inequality is abnormal amount of default loan. As earlier mentioned the amount of default loan is increasing day by day and on September 2017 total default loan including write off amount arrived at Tk. 125,834 crore. Benefit of this default loan are enjoyed by the high income level people. High rate of inflation is another reason of economic inequality. Due to high rate of inflation people of lower level suffer heavily. During inflation normally value of consumable goods increases at higher rate than the increasing rate of wages. For example if we look at the increasing trend of income and expenditure of the period 2005 to 2010, it may be observed that income has increased by 59% but at the same time expenditure has increased by 82% because of increasing the prices of consumable goods. Comparative low remuneration is another reason of increasing inequality. Lack of proper utilization of budget allocation is also reason of widening economic inequality.
37 ECONOMIC INEQUALITY Income share (Percent) for the year 2010 in five quintile were as follows Quintile Percent First (bottom) 5.22 Second 9.10 Third Fourth Fifth (top) Total The value of Gini concentration index increased from 0.36 in to 0.46 in 2010 at the national level.
38 ECONOMIC INEQUALITY According to the report relating to corruption published by Transparency International, Bangladesh had scored 1st for consecutive couple of years ending 2005 which indicates high level of corruption prevailing in the country. However, due to taking some steps like digitalization, giving independency and power to the Anti Corruption Commission for combating corruption some improvements have taken place and as per corruption related report of 2017 of transparency international the score of Bangladesh was 17th. Area Year Year Budget allocation for social safety net 11,467 Crore 54,206 Crore Gap of direct and indirect tax 24:76 35:65 Inflation 9.9% 5.4%
39 ECONOMIC INEQUALITY Income share (Percent) for the year 2015 in five quintile were as follows: Quintile Percent First (bottom) 8.90 Second Third Fourth Fifth (top) Total The value of Gini concentration index decreased from 0.46 in 2010 to 0.32 (estimated) in the year 2015.
40 ONGOING REMARKABLE PROJECTS The Padma Multipurpose Bridge an estimate of multiplier effects from the investment on the bridge shows that the bridge would increase the GDP growth by 1.2 percent and regional GDP in the southwest zone by 3.5 percent. Metro rail, one of the much needed projects (MRT line 6) Rooppor Nuclear Power Plant is another ongoing project which will be able to generate 2400 MW electricity. The power will enhance the productivity of agriculture and Ready Made Garments which will be the source of generating foreign currency. Matarbari 1200 MW Power plant in coastal Cox bazar project has begun the construction work. The estimate cost of building the plant on 1,414 acres is around Tk. 360 billion. Payra seaport, the third seaport of Bangladesh located in Patuakhali The uniqueness of the seaport is that the foreign ship will be able to come here directly as it is located centrally. It will certainly create scope to earn handsome amount from that.
41 PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTANTS FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT The contribution of professional accountants for industry sector (high priority sector) as well as various other subsectors such as business, trade, bank, insurance etc is remarkable. Through implementation of efficient record keeping strategies, it provides useful information to act proactively so as to make good decisions. A good accountant looks for means to reduce overheads which ensure maximum profits of the business. As board directors, professional accountants in business represent the interest of the owners of the entity. As internal auditors, professional accountants provide independent assurance to management that the organizations risk management, governance and internal control process are being operated effectively. Professional Accountants are the main consultants of SMEs. The institute of professional Accountant regulatory advises the government on various matters of taxation with its recommendations, and this ensures robust taxation frame work.
42 RECOMMENDATIONS For increasing the share of direct tax new tax payers need to be identified. It is pertinent to mention the ownership of bank balance of taka one crore and above has increased 11 times in the year 2014 compared with that of for the year 2003 but direct tax has increased nine times. This information reveals the scope to increase the number of Tax payers. Special attention need to be given for earnings from external sources like, export, Foreign Direct Investment, Foreign Remittance through improving the work environment of doing business. Despite having improvement still there are lot of limitations in health sector. According to World Health Organization s report 52 lacs peoples are going under poverty level to meet up the health service expenses. Two crore 60 lacs peoples are suffering from shortage of nutrition. So, sufficient amount of budget may be allocated for health sector for providing maximum health service to the rural poor and hard core poor people
