UNB, Dhaka :
The Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD) on Tuesday urged the government to publish the “actual data” based on which the GDP has been assessed.
CPD distinguished fellow Dr Debapriya Bhattacharya, however, appreciated the government for the steady GDP rise and expressed concern about other aspects of national development.
He was addressing a press conference arranged at Cirdap Auditorium here marking the launching of a report as part of Independent Review of Bangladesh Development research programme on the acts and assessment of electoral pledges of the government within the first 100 days of its rule. “GDP is an important factor but not self-sufficient. All global development plans focus on human development. Even the SDGs have emphasised overall development of the stakeholders,” Debapriya said.
