Since the collapse of the United States sub prime mortgage market and the subsequent international global crisis, many developed and developing countries have been plunged into deep recession. Bangladesh, whose economy is less dependent than some on international capital and foreign investment, found itself in a less critical position but still took early steps to shield it's economy.
A new policy briefing series from DNet draws on a range of research and analysis from Bangladesh think tanks and research organisations to examines the subsequent impacts of financial crisis in Bangladesh - particularly in the context of trade, exports migration and remittances. It then summarises recommendations for policy makers to help ensure that the government response to the crisis remains robust and effective.
The online version of the publication also features an interview with Dr Mustafizur Rahman, Executive Director of CPD and member of the Bangladesh government high-level technical committee monitoring the crisis.
