Why the controversy in Bangladesh over the government's calculation of per capita income growth

 According to media reports, per capita income in Bangladesh has exceeded two and a half thousand dollars.

However, it has not yet been officially announced by the government.

However, Planning Minister MA Mannan told the BBC that according to the Bureau of Statistics or BBS, this time the average per capita income was ৫ 2,554.

The figures will be released soon after discussions with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the planning minister said.

Now the per capita income is 15 percent higher than the previous fiscal year.

Many economists say that Bangladesh has higher per capita income than India and other South Asian countries.

The average per capita income of the people of Bangladesh has always been debated. This time too the debate did not go away.

There is a lot of discussion on how to do this calculation.
