Real GDP growth averaged 6.4% between 2010 and 2023, while poverty and extreme poverty declined to 30% and 5%. Progress persists alongside slower poverty reduction and job creation, especially in rural areas and for women, with widening spatial disparities and urban inequality.","Public Disclosure Authorized  \nBangladesh:  \nCountry Private Sector Diagnostic  \nEXECUTIVE SUMMARY  \nAPRIL 2025  \nPub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure  \nAbout the Country Private Sector Diagnostic  \nThe private sector is the engine of long-term economic growth and a vital catalyst for global social and economic development. When functioning well, the private sector promotes innovation and entrepreneurship, improves access to and the quality of economic opportunities, and supports the sustainable use of natural resources. In developing economies, the private sector creates most jobs, generates tax revenue, and accounts for significant investment.  \nThe revised Country Private Sector Diagnostic (CPSD) reports seek to unlock private sector–led growth and investment. Prepared jointly by the institutions of the World Bank Group, each report discusses the overall business environment within a country and provides an analysis of specific sectors in which private sector investment could accelerate growth, if appropriate policy and regulatory issues are addressed.  \nDesigned from the perspective of an investor or entrepreneur, this new generation of reports seeks to identify untapped private investment opportunities and the barriers that stand in the way (earlier reports can be found at [https://www.ifc.org/en/insights-reports/](https://www.ifc.org/en/insights-reports/)  \nprivate-sector-diagnostic) . The sector opportunities are  \nchosen based on their potential to spur private investment, create jobs, generate domestic revenue, and foster sustainable, inclusive growth, in response to targeted policy action. The report aims to help country policymakers prioritize the most impactful actions that can boost private sector growth, while delivering on broader development goals.  \nThe CPSD is one of the World Bank Group’s core country diagnostics produced to guide the design and implementation of public and private investment projects, budget support operations, advisory services, and other analytical work. It is intended to be of interest to domestic and foreign business investors, government officials, World Bank Group staff and management, civil society, and other development partners.  \nBangladesh:  \nCountry Private Sector Diagnostic  \nEXECUTIVE SUMMARY  \nAPRIL 2025  \nAcknowledgments  \nThe Bangladesh Country Private Sector Diagnostic was prepared by staff from across the World Bank Group.
