Remembering M Saifur Rahman: A change driver (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some knew M Saifur Rahman much better than I did. Some sat across the cabinet table with him. Others learned from him at a respectful distance. When I met Manmohan Singh in Delhi in 2003, he praised Saifur Rahman’s success with VAT. I remember thinking: Here was the finance minister of more than a billion people, architect of India’s 1991 liberalisation, praising Bangladesh’s finance minister. Today, I would make a larger claim: the reform playbook Saifur Rahman developed between 1991 and 2006 i
How Bangladesh can improve economic research (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bangladesh produces no shortage of economic reports, research papers and policy recommendations. Major economic issues, from inflation and investment to employment and exports, have been discussed in seminars, newspapers and policy forums. Yet there is a question we need to ask more seriously: are we producing enough research that helps us make better economic decisions or reflects the true situation?

It is their willingness to keep changing what the

Bangladesh has completed the first 180 days under the new government with a mixed record. The external sector has improved, with stronger remittances and reserves. Yet recovery remains incomplete. Investment is weak, credit growth is at a historic low, industry faces energy shortages, and household purchasing power remains under pressure. The challenge is turning stability into growth. The latest Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) provides encouragement. In July, the overall PMI rose from 52.9 to
Future of accounting (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Not long ago, the finance team in a company would have spent the week buried in paper, chasing invoices and posting entries by hand. Today the accountant opens one screen, and the numbers are already there, reconciled overnight. Instead of finishing the month-end close, the accountant is with the managing director, explaining what the figures mean. This is one of the biggest changes in the history of the profession, and it is not only about technology. It is also about new business models, highe
