Bangladesh forecast to surpass India in per capita GDP
Original: Bangladesh per capita GDP forecast to outstrip India’s: What does it mean? https://www. aljazeera.com/news/2026/10/25/ b
New projections indicate Bangladesh is expected to overtake India in per capita GDP this year, a milestone that would have seemed unlikely when Bangladesh was far poorer a few decades ago. Commentators are debating what the forecast really means, noting that aggregate economic size, exchange rates and income distribution complicate the comparison, but many see it as a symbolic shift in South Asia's economic balance.
Why now: The forecast challenges assumptions about the regional economic hierarchy between two populous South Asian neighbours.
