These include, where per capita income should be at least $ 1,230, in 2020 Bangladesh’s per capita income was $ 1,628. Developing countries need 8 points on the human resources index and Bangladesh’s point is now 65.3.

Under UN law, a country receives a final recommendation for a pass from a least developed country if it can meet the approval criteria in two consecutive triennial reviews. The announcement was made at a meeting of the UN Development Policy Committee or UN-CDP in New York.

After receiving the final recommendation for transition to developing countries, Bangladesh’s official transition to developing countries will take place in 2026 after five years of preparation. Bangladesh will lose cheap loans and various export facilities if it joins Qatar as a developing country. As a result, Bangladesh wants to prepare for the passage of these facilities.

Bangladesh is about to receive a final recommendation for transition from a less developed country at a time when the nation is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and the 50th anniversary of independence.
