Conclusion
Vision 2041 represents Bangladesh's commitment to a transformative development agenda aimed at achieving prosperity and resilience. By focusing on economic growth, human capital development, and sustainable practices, Bangladesh aspires to become a developed nation by 2041. Continued efforts in policy implementation, infrastructure investment, and social inclusion can help realise this vision.
The role of foreign partnerships is also valuable—both public and private—in delivering investment, technology transfer, and global market access. Strategic international collaboration can accelerate progress, enhance competitiveness, and help Bangladesh fully integrate into the global economy.[28][36]
Implementation framework
To implement Vision 2041, the government has developed the Perspective Plan of Bangladesh 2021–2041 (PP2041)[27], which serves as a strategic guide for policy formulation and program implementation. PP2041 emphasises structural transformation, infrastructure development, export diversification, and inclusive growth. It also focuses on building partnerships with international organisations for development support and knowledge exchange.
Progress and challenges
With PP2041 in mind, there is no doubt Bangladesh has made significant strides in economic development, with exports reaching $50 billion[17] and a GDP of $450 billion[31] in 2024.
