Despite challenges such as climate
vulnerability, hunger, growing poverty, rising inequality, increasing
unemployment, a low tax-to-GDP ratio, and political instability,
Professor AK Enamul Haque, Director General of the
Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies (BIDS), remains optimistic
about the country’s socio-economic future. He views the population as
the nation’s greatest asset but identifies the absence of a rule-based
society as a significant barrier. In a recent interview with Shakhawat Hossain
for New Age Business magazine, Dr. Enamul Haque emphasised that once
the political government successfully establishes a rule-based society,
the country will be poised for progress. He explained that a rule-based
society, where standardised procedures replace personal relationships or
individual discretion, is essential for tackling contemporary
challenges. https://bizmagazine.newagebd.net/post/economy/2316/rule-based-society-crucial-for-progress-bids-dg
