Per capita income is 2064 dollars: Prime Minister

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said that according to the review of the United Nations, the per capita income of the country in 2019 was 1,222 US dollars. However, our per capita income is 2,064 dollars. That is about 1.7 times the standard. Bangladesh’s achievement against the Human Resource Index is 75.4. The criteria for passing the Economic and Environmental Fragility Index were set at 32 or less. But at that time Bangladesh’s position in this case was 27.

He said this at a press conference held at the Prime Minister’s Office on Saturday. The press conference was organized in view of receiving the final recommendation of the United Nations on the transition from LDC.
