Innovative Bangladesh


As per finance ministry of Bangladesh, its citizens have hidden / stashed away, some $ 110 billion worth of black money.

That nearly equals 80 % of country’s GDP.

How to bring this black money into the mainstream economy and put it to productive use ?

With that objective in mind, Bangladesh parliament just passed a new law that would enable tax-evaders to invest such monies into local stocks / shares officially.

All they need to do is to pay 10 % of invested monies as tax.

And no questions asked as to the source of their funds !

While grappling with the monster of black money, it is a “ no holds barred “, as far as Bangladesh is concerned.

May be Indian parliamentarians can learn a lesson from their innovative neighbors !


With regards
