Eugene good question. This I cant answer specifically as I have no clue.

Purchasing power parity GDP to nominal ratio is right at around 3 to 1. So 1 US dollar in Bangladesh buys the same stuff as 3 dollars does in the US. If that helps answer your question.

As a developing country, Bangladesh is developing at a rapid pace, despite political and economic volatility. The economy grows at around 5% annually if I am not mistaken.

Like Pakistan, we have a huge population, meaning we have a massive diaspora of several million with the largest numbers in the Gulf, then UK, then New York City (mostly in Queens, but big communities in Brooklyn too), with Sydney, Melbourne, and Toronto trailing well behind NYC.

Many of my relatives who still live in Dhaka are wealthier than my family here in the US, although incomes are probably less. My father is from a relatively poor family so he has only whatever he has earned. My mother's family is wealthy and as you know, wealth can increase manyfold via investing.

All of my relatives have basically the same standard of living we have, and some even more. I remember back in 1997, one of my techie cousins had internet, a CD player, and a fax machine and my family in the US had none of that. In fact, up to that time I had only used the internet a handful of times to check NBA scores at school, lol.

My travels around the world make me interested in these things. I have a business-friend in Lagos, Nigeria who probably has a similar income to mine, yet he lives in a walled mansion with a swimming pool and multiple live-in servants, one could never afford that in the USA. Sometimes wonder if I should move to India or Bangladesh and live like a king.
