Bangladesh per capita GDP forecast to pass India's this year, report says
The projection compares output per person in the two South Asian neighbours, though the source cautions it does not capture the wider economic picture.
What to know
- The forecast puts Bangladesh ahead of India on GDP per person this year.
- The comparison is described as an incomplete measure of either economy.
- No figures, growth rates or methodology were given in the supplied material.
Bangladesh is forecast to overtake India on per capita gross domestic product this year, according to an assessment reported by Al Jazeera English. The measure divides a country's total output by its population, so it reflects average income rather than the size of the economy or how that income is shared.
The outlet cautioned that the projection does not amount to a complete picture of either country's economic position. The supplied material gave no figures, growth rates or methodology behind the forecast, and did not say which institution produced it or how the two governments responded.
