While the world is reeling under an economic crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Bangladesh’s economy was able to escape a contraction in 2020 and its annual rate of GDP growth will continue to accelerate throughout the 2021-25 period, so says a think tank.

Between 2021 and 2025, Bangladesh’s annual rate of GDP growth will accelerate to an average of 6.8%, forecasts the Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr) in an annual report published on Saturday.

The London-based economic forecaster also stuck to its pre-COVID-19 assessment of Bangladesh becoming the 25th largest economy in the world by 2035.
