Dhaka, May 21 -The per capita income of Bangladesh stands at US $2784 in the current fiscal year, slightly higher than the previous fiscal year.
Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) released the periodic data on Monday. The end of the current fiscal year is just a few days away. The BBS prepared this projection from an existing trend of the economic situation.
