A study has found that inflation, particularly in food prices, and climate change are posing significant challenges for Bangladesh in meeting the Millennium Development Goals (MDG). The 'Social Watch Report 2010', launched by Dhaka-based research arm Unnayan Shumunnay, also highlighted debt servicing, poor revenue collection, and a decrease in foreign direct investment as additional obstacles. According to the study, Bangladesh has remained at a low ranking of 61 in the Basic Capabilities Index (BCI), which considers child mortality, maternal child health, and education, over the past decade. In comparison, Pakistan has shown notable progress, moving from 55 to 65 in the same period. Nepal and India have both made progress, while Sri Lanka leads the region with a score of 99. The report indicates that MDGs are still seen as political goals, as shown by the fact that global defense spending exceeds aid to developing nations by 49 percent. In order to achieve MDGs worldwide by 2015, it would require $100-120 billion annually, which is less than 0.5 percent of the global GDP, according to a Social Watch study. Citing research from Jubilee Netherlands, the study suggests that Bangladesh would require $7.5 billion in annual assistance— five times more than its current level—to meet the MDGs. Discussing climate change, the study notes that despite being a minor polluter, Bangladesh is heavily impacted by climate change. According to the report, the country's greenhouse gas emissions make up less than 0.2% of the global total. Social Watch warns that climate change will present significant obstacles to the country's goals of increasing economic growth and reducing poverty.
