...Introduction Bangladesh characterised by high population density, low resource base, recurrent natural disasters and persistent socio-cultural instability has come a long way since its independence in 1971. The country has performed well especially in recent years, showing that a country can achieve significan human and social development at relatively low levels of income along with creating strong fundamentals and future growth. The integration of developing and least developed countries with the global economy increased sharply in the 1990s with change in their economic policies and lowering of barriers to trade and investment. Foreign direct investment (FDI) is expected to benefit poor countries such as Bangladesh in a number of ways. Firstly, it supplements domestic investment which is low due to lack of resources in these countries. Secondly, FDI is expected to generate employment, transfer, increase domestic competition and bring other positive externalities such as transfer of good practices. Bangladesh offers attractive investment opportunities to foreign investors and has adopted policies to attract FDI into the country. In fact Bangladesh seems to offer one of the most liberal FDI regimes in South Asia. The economic model was developed based on the past behavior of GDP and the external sector. It indicated that FDI is the sector having the most significant impact on GDP and aid the second most significant. While imports negatively affect economic growth, exports have...

...on the study of the structure of the external sector of Bangladesh and its impact on GDP. It involves economic models developed to determine the impact of each sector-Export, Import, Foreign Aid and Remittance, on GDP of Bangladesh. It also involves an analysis of the behavior of these factors in three SAARC countries and the application of the regression model developed. The economic model was developed based on the past behavior of GDP and the external sector. It indicated that Remittance is the sector having the most significant impact on GDP and aid the second most significant. While imports negatively affect economic growth, exports have played a very important role over the period. The remittance of Bangladesh has been increasing over the last few years. Hence, its impact on GDP has also been rising. In the span of 34 years export as percentage of GDP increased from 2.2% to 15.4%. Hence, performance was moderately good. The economy has been suffering from ever increasing trade deficits, despite several export promotional measures. Large import payments mainly account for this problem. Foreign aid shows large fluctuations over the period Finally, an analysis was conducted on the behavior of the external sectors in the SAARC countries using the regression model. Export was found to be the dominant sector in India, while imports had the minimum impact on GDP. Pakistan was found to be more dependent on export and foreign aid than on remittance and import. Sri Lanka’s economy...

...Introduction: International Business means performance of cross border economic activities to maximize long run total profit. In case of International Business we are suppose to follow some domestic regulations and some international regulations. Legally banks and financial institutions can only facilitate payments. However, in International Business global economy is the market profit opportunities are huge. The definition of international business focuses on transactions. The use of this term recognizes that doing business internationally is an activity, not merely a passive observation. Closely linked to activity is the term “satisfaction.” It is crucial that the participants in international business are satisfied. Only if they feel they are better off after the transaction than they were before, will individual business transactions develop into a business relationship. The fact that the transactions are across national borders highlights a key difference between domestic and international business. The international executive is subject to a new set of macro environmental factors, to different constraints, and to quite frequent conflicts resulting from different laws, cultures, and societies. The basic principles of business are still relevant, but their application, complexity, and intensity vary substantially. Area of study within this topic include differences in legal systems, political systems, economic policy, language, accounting standards, labor standards, living...

...IMPACT ON BANGLADESH ECONOMY “Globalization was supposed to bring unprecedented benefits to all. Yet, curiously, it has come to vilified both in the developed and developing world”—Joseph E Stiglitz, Making Globalization Work, 2006. - PROF. DR. M A JALIL State University of Bangladesh ABSTRACT Today all the modern and developed and developing countries are more or less within the fold of globalization. Bangladesh with its expanding sway of exports and imports is no exception to that. Globalization is increasingly becoming more and more popular, because most of the countries see their better fortune in this arrangement. Globalization covers a wide range of issues, economic, political, cultural, etc. There are scopes of win-win gains of the involved countries in their dealings. Since the issue of globalization is more a dream than reality, an effort was made to make the readers more aware about the issue, so that they take more interest in implementing the nobler ideas of globalization. Bangladesh has been trying to bring structural changes in her economy- increasingly expanding the contributions of industries in GDP, trade liberalization, boosting up exports, exporting more manpower in abroad, encouraging them in sending remittances, and alluring the investors (both foreign and non-residents of Bangladesh) for DFI. The country found the results encouraging and more efforts will be rewarding. Recently, Bangladesh has taken efforts to diversify her trade, find out ...

...National Policies and Incentives Sufficient? Foreign direct investment (FDI) is increasingly becoming a preferred form of capital flows to developing countries in recent years, as compared to other forms of capital flows. The reasons for this are not hard to seek. In the context of the gloom and despair of the heavy debt burden plaguing these countries, FDI promises to be the bright ray of hope for harnessing capital flows to the country’s economic development without the pangs of capital repayment with interest. In this context Feldstein and Razin (2000) and Sodka (forthcoming) note that the gains to host countries can take several other forms: • FDI allows transfer of capital and technology, which is not possible through financial investment in goods and services. • FDI also promotes competition in the domestic input market • Profits generated by FDI contribute to the corporate revenue in the host country • Operation of new ventures by FDI leads to employee learning in the host country who learn how to manage and operate the businesses. This contributes to human capital development of the host country. • Profits generated by FDI contribute to tax revenues in the host country FDI is different from other major types of external private capital flows in that it is motivated largely by the investor’s long-term prospects for making profits in production activities that they directly control. Foreign bank lending and portfolio investment, in contrast...

...integration of different national economies into one global market economy. It alters competitiveness conditions with the arrival of new players on the global scene and causes traditional roles to be redefined. GLOBALIZATION AS A GLOBAL TREND What seems to be a novelty is, in fact, a series of changes related primarily to the gradual removal of trade barriers, financial market deregulation, the communication technology revolution, and the impact of a more informed society. The causes of the current globalization wave include: • Technical and scientific progress, especially developments in the telecommunications sector and the communications sector as a whole. • Widespread transport use on an international scale. • A strong increase in demand for goods and services, resulting from a wealthier population and greater life expectancy. THE DIMENSIONS OF GLOBALIZATION Globalization is far from being one-dimensional. Economically, the primary effects of globalization are seen in the reduction of protectionist policies, the liberalization of international economic transactions, and the expansion of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Technological advances contribute decisively to productivity improvement, economic growth, and international trade. From a political perspective, one of the consequences of globalization is the loss of the countries’ independence on certain issues in that international decisions are directly filtered through or managed by international organizations...
