Lower middle income status & second least liveable city

It is heartening to know that we have attained lower middle income status, after more than four decades of our independence. Hopefully, we shall join the league of middle income nations by 2021.

Meanwhile, many still inhale the most polluted air, live below the poverty line and are surrounded by corruption in all spheres. We bear the stigma of the second least liveable city in the world for our capital Dhaka. There is very little for the government to be satisfied with, as our economic status cannot erase the stigma of being the second least liveable city.
