About Economy and Development MCQs

Questions cover institutions such as Bangladesh Bank, the National Board of Revenue, the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission, the stock exchanges and the Microcredit Regulatory Authority, along with the fiscal year and planning documents. Development organisations such as BRAC and Grameen Bank also feature, as does the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize. Questions on the origins of these bodies, such as the President's Orders of 1972, are also asked.

Other questions cover jute, tea and other key sectors, major projects such as the Jamuna and Padma bridges, the Karnaphuli Tunnel, Dhaka metro rail and the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant, census results and the process of graduation from the Least Developed Country category. Figures that change each year, such as growth rates, are best checked against current official sources. Read the year in each question, because answers often depend on it.
