এ বছর মাথাপিছু জিডিপিতে আবার ভারতের চেয়ে এগিয়ে যাবে বাংলাদেশ

The International Monetary Fund's October 2026 World Economic Outlook projects Bangladesh's nominal per capita GDP at US$2,886 in 2026, against US$2,749 for India, reversing a recent trend in which India was ahead on this measure. Prothom Alo, citing Al Jazeera, reports that India leads on purchasing power parity, at US$12,998 versus US$10,884 for Bangladesh, and that Bangladesh's inflation is projected to be higher than India's. The IMF projects India overtaking Bangladesh again in 2029 (US$3,661 versus US$3,334), with Bangladesh slightly ahead in 2028. Economist Santosh Mehrotra, quoted by Prothom Alo, credited Bangladesh's roughly 6 percent annual growth and a rise in manufacturing's share of value added. Per capita GDP is total output divided by population. Bangladesh's progress is attributed to the garment industry, remittances and women's labour participation. Prothom Alo also reports that the Middle East war has disrupted Hormuz shipping and pressured Bangladesh's energy imports and garment exports.

Where accounts differ. Prothom Alo alone reports the purchasing-power-parity comparison, India's lead on that measure, and the 2029 overtaking, while Financial Express and Bangladesh Post report only the 2026 nominal figures and Desh TV gives the same nominal figures without the later projections.
