Since the group of least developed countries (LDCs) was identified
in 1971, only five countries have graduated from the group, all of
which are characterised by small size or population. The
projections are that the next decade will see a rapid increase in
the pace of graduation, with Bangladesh in particular poised to be
one of the largest countries, in terms of its economy and
population, yet to leave the group. While previously many LDCs
viewed the prospect of graduation with some apprehension, fearing
significant erosion of international support, increasingly, the
move is being seen as a more positive landmark. This book aims to
articulate appropriate strategies and initiatives to help
Bangladesh to maintain its developmental momentum and to prepare
for a sustainable graduation in 2024. In doing so, the book
explores themes such as key analytical issues of the LDC graduation
paradigm, smooth transition and structural transformation, and
post-graduation challenges and opportunities. Further, against the
backdrop of Gross National Income per capita, the Human Assets
Index and Economic Vulnerability Index goals required for
graduation, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the
2030 Agenda will also be in the process of implementation. Whilst
some feel that the two agendas might be in conflict, the book
teases out some of the important synergies which can be drawn when
LDCs are undertaking the journey of graduation in the era of the
SDGs. The book also takes into cognisance the uncertain external
environment and the emerging global scenario within which
Bangladesh's graduation is to take place. Conceptual discourse
around LDC graduation and the particular narrative around
Bangladesh's journey towards LDC graduation will be of interest not
only to scholars of Bangladesh, but also to researchers and
policymakers with an interest in LDC graduation for other countries
facing similar challenges.
