Bangladesh is a mess. Dhaka is highly polluted. The country faces serious issues like floods. It’s also an officially Islamic nation, a leftover when the British partitioned India on the way out - they gave away big chunks of Indian territory to Islamic extremists to form ethnostates, which became Pakistan and Bangladesh. There’s a lot of corruption. Lots of controversies involving discrimination against various groups based on gender, ethnicity, religion, etc. I think a combination of all these things just make it unattractive for investment or economic ties with other countries, but it’s also difficult to attract talent. Local talent would prefer to leave. It would take a total reboot of the country, away from its ethnostate roots from the mid 1900s, and with a totally different system of government, for it to turn the corner. But that’s a hard sell to a population that is now overwhelmingly in favor of things the way they are.
