No firms in Bangladesh that can make a bridge? That is surprising
No lol. Quite surprising for a country that claims to be the most adbanced cuntry in south Asia. Almost all their major bridges are constructed by Chinese firms and few by Indian, Korean and Japanese firms.

Next Sri Lanka?

There probably aren't, I'd guess you may think their military could be able to, but then again Chongs world wide somehow have the lowest bids so they get the tender.
It used to happen even here, not for most infra projects tho, but for power generation equipment and trains etc.

For Chinese contracts, they want all raw material + labour from China...no benefit for host country

Don't forget the certified classic, Jambudweep :bplease:
Somebody in ancient times really liked jamuns
😂 Not exactly related to jamuns at all , it's kind of term for land beyond traditional Bharat's boundaries
Any Vedic chant you do before sunrise starts with "JambuDweepe, Bharathakande, Nilatheere"
JambuDweep is Mahadweepah i.e continent
Bharathakand is Dweepah i.e the subcontinent


Bharathakand is within JambuDweep, while JambuDweep is much Larger

This is my understanding iirc

@Crazywithmath This article has the most creative excuses for BeeDi not having a single billionaire.


It is also worth mentioning that not having a billionaire is not necessarily a problem and might, in fact, point toward a more competitive, consumer-friendly and fair organisation of the markets. :rofl::rofl:Hence, refraining oneself from plucking the low-hanging and often simplistic explanation may provide room for more nuance.

To solve this final piece of the puzzle, we may look into the nature of markets in these countries. Countries that allow corporate consolidations are also likely to have more billionaires than countries that don't. Going back to the case of Chile, Horst Paulmann's Cencosud and the international chain Walmart have created an oligopoly in the Chilean market and have been fined several times by the regulatory authorities. Despite that, they hold too much power in these markets, allowing Cenkosud's owner to accumulate obscene amounts of wealth.

Similarly in India, the likes of Mukhesh Ambani and his Reliance have nearly unchallenged control over the energy markets and also considerable influence over the ruling party leaders. Poor institutions and a lack of accountability have also led to the concentration of wealth in these countries. :pound: :pound:

In the case of Bangladesh, public services like railways, airlines, and natural resources are typically owned by state-owned enterprises and thereby, the government. Hence, there is no opportunity for private individuals to get obscenely wealthy by hoarding these precious resources.
(lmao, wut? :rofl::rofl:)

Anything difficult is nominated to corps of engineers of BD army. Be it construction of hill road, shipping terminal etc.
It's also convenient politically. But, it robs the opportunity to local firms of EPC experience and they work as subcontractors to army guys.
