The present paper examines the extentto which Bangladesh has taken adventages of this window opportunity. It also identifies remaining challenges to exploiting this opportunity to further increase economic growth and development. The paper concludes that in order to reap benefits from this windowof opportunity, Bangladeshmust make critical investment in its human capital base, as well as improve infrastructure and the overall investment climate.
