Experience of individual least developed countries with adjustment

Bangladesh is poorly endowed with natural resources: apart from fertile agricultural land, other exploitable resources are natural gas and fisheries. With a per capita income of about $170 in 1988, income and consumption levels in Bangladesh are some of the lowest among the LDCs. The production structure is undiversified and economic growth is largely determined by the performance of agriculture, which contributed 47 per cent of GDP and provided 71 per cent of employment in 1986.
