Contribution Of Foreign Direct Investment To Economic Growth In Bangladesh, Mohammed Abu Rayhan Nov 2014

Contribution Of Foreign Direct Investment To Economic Growth In Bangladesh, Mohammed Abu Rayhan

Masters Theses

Rapid industrialization is essential in Bangladesh to keep pace with its development needs. But the low rate of gross domestic savings and investment as well as low level of technology base hamper the expected industrialization process.

The growth of broad money supply (M2) and the Monetary Policy Rate are used as the principal monetary policy …
