CHAPTER 2

GDP, SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT

[Bangladesh has been able to achieve GDP growth at more than 6 percent on an average
for the last one decade.According to the final estimate of Bangladesh Bureau of
Statistics, GDP growth stood at 6.03 percent in FY 2012-13which was recorded at 6.23
in the FY 2011-12as per the provisional estimate. In attaining GDP growth, three main
sectors of the economy like agriculture, industry and service sector made major
contributions. Because of high base effect induced by more than 5 percent growth in
agriculture sector during the FY 2009-10 and FY 2010-11, the growth of agriculture
sector reduced slightly to 3.11 percent in the FY 2011-12, which was estimated at 2.17
percent in FY 2012-13. Basically the growth rate of agriculture sector has slightly
declined as there was lower thanthe targeted production in the crops and horticulture
sub-sector. In FY 2012-13 at constant prices, share of agriculture, industry and service
sectors stood at 18.70 percent, 31.99 percent and 49.30 percent respectively. According
to the provisional estimate, on expenditure side, in FY 2012-13consumption
expenditureincreased slightly to 80.75 percent of GDP compared to 80.74 percent in FY
2011-12. Besides, Domestic savings stood at 19.25 percent of GDP in FY 2012-13.
Because of positive growth in remittance inflows, national savings increased to 29.51
percent of GDP in FY 2012-13 from 29.18 percent of GDP a year earlier. Furthermore,
investment-GDP ratio stood at 26.84 percent in this fiscal year which was 26.54 percent
in FY 2011-12.]

Economic Growth
According to data releasedby BBS Bangladesh achieved 6.71 percent and 6.23 percent GDP
growth in FY 2010-11 and FY 2011-12 respectively. Even after the global financial crisis,
Bangladesh has been able to achieve GDP growth at more than 6 percent on an average.
According to the provisional estimate of BBS, the economy has posted a growth rate of 6.03
percent in FY 2012-13. Moreover, the GDP growth is stillbeing estimated using FY 1995-96 as a
base year. GDP growth will be higher if FY 2005-06 at used as a new base year from the next
fiscal year which includes many new sectorsof the economy.
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at Current Prices
The provisional value of GDP at current market prices stands at Tk. 10,379,867 crore in FY
2012-13, which was 13.05 percent higher than that of the previous year.At current prices, the
estimated per capita GDP for FY 2012-13 is Tk. 67,577 which has increased by 11.57 percent
from the per capita GDP of Tk. 60,571 in FY 2011-12. On the other hand, per capita national
income stood at Tk. 74,380 which was Tk. 66,463 a year earlier.In US dollar, per capita GNI and
GDP stood at US$ 923 and US$ 838 respectively inFY 2012-13compared to US$ 840 and US$
766 respectively in FY 2011-12.GDP, GNI, per capita GDP and national income during the
period from FY 2006-07 to FY 2012-13 are shown in Table 2.1.

The structural changes of the share of broad sectors in GDP are represented in the Table 2.5 and
graph 2.2. From the table and graph, it would be seen that, over the three decades the share of the
industry sector in GDP increased gradually and continued to increase in FY 2012-13. On the
other hand, the service sector contributed at a similar pace over the period.

Expenditure Based GDP

The GDP based on expenditure is presented in Table 2.6 and the consumption, saving and
investment situation are presented in Table 2.7. According to the provisional data, on the
expenditure side, consumption accounted for 80.75 percent of GDP in FY 2012-13which
increased by 0.01 percentage point of GDP compared to that of the previous year. Increased
agricultural output induced domestic demand and the expansion of social safety-net of the
government added up the overall growth in consumption.In Table 2.7 it is evident that, domestic
savings and national savings were 19.26 percent and 29.18 percent of GDP respectively in FY
2011-12.The provisional estimates of BBS for both domestic and national savings stand at 19.25
percent and 29.51 percent of GDP in FY 2012-13 respectively. It indicates that growth in
22

national saving increased in FY 2012-13 because of the high growth of remittance though the
domestic saving remained thesame compared to the previous fiscal year.

percent of GDP from 26.54 percent in the previous fiscal year.Of this, gross private investment

It is expected that investment would be boosted up throughinfrastructural development,

expanding the coverage of electrification rapidly, energy diversification, extension and
development of railways, roads, waterways together with land ports, sea ports and airportsand
implementation of infrastructure relatedprogrammes planned under ADP and PPP initiatives. All
these altogetherwill help achieve higher trajectory of growth.
