Highlighting Bangladesh's progress in various indicators of economic and social development, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said Bangladesh a decade ago and now Bangladesh is not one.
Today's Bangladesh is a changed Bangladesh. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has given the credit to the people for getting the final recommendation of the UN to move from the list of least developed countries to developing countries. Highlighting this achievement of Bangladesh on the golden jubilee of independence, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said, "This achievement belongs to the people of this country."
We have achieved this milestone through the combined efforts of all. The Prime Minister said at the outset, "Of course, I am here today to give you the good news of a great and glorious achievement of Bangladesh.
We are fully qualified to move forward in the developing world. Highlighting the importance of this time of achieving the goals, Sheikh Hasina said, "Our transition took place at a time when we are celebrating the birth centenary of the greatest Bengali of all time, Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman; We are on the verge of celebrating the golden jubilee of great freedom.
This crossing is a historic event for Bangladesh. Bangladesh, which has been in the least developed country Qatar since 1975, meets all the requirements of the UN Committee for Development Policy or UN-CDP in 2018. According to UN rules, The CDP reviews transit from LDCs on the basis of three indicators.
Bangladesh has come a long way in fulfilling the conditions in all the three indices. The per capita income of a developing country should be at least 1230 US dollars, Bangladesh's per capita income in 2020 was 1827 dollars. The Prime Minister said, at present our per capita income is two thousand 84 dollars. That is about one point seven times the standard.
Bangladesh's achievement is 75.4 against the standard 66 set in the Human Resource Index. The criteria for passing the Economic and Environmental Fragility Index were set at 32 or less.
But at that time, Bangladesh's position was 27. According to CDP regulations, a country can enjoy three to five years of preparation time after receiving a recommendation for a passage.
