Rule-based society crucial for progress: BIDS DG

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
