A study has found that inflation, particularly in food prices, and climate change are becoming major challenges for Bangladesh in achieving 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. Despite efforts, Bangladesh has remained at a low ranking of 61 in the Basic Capabilities Index (BCI) over the past decade, while Pakistan has shown significant improvement, moving from 55 to 65. Nepal and India have made progress in their rankings, while Sri Lanka leads the region with a score of 99. The report highlights that Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are still seen as political targets, as global defense spending surpasses aid to developing nations by 49 percent. To reach MDGs worldwide by 2015, an estimated $100-120 billion annually would be needed, which is less than 0.5 percent of the global GDP according to a Social Watch study. Referencing a Jubilee Netherlands study, the report mentions that Bangladesh would require $7.5 billion in annual assistance, five times more than current levels, to achieve the MDGs. Despite being a minor contributor to pollution, Bangladesh is greatly affected by climate change. According to the report, the country's greenhouse gas emissions account for less than 0.2% of the global total. Social Watch warns that climate change will pose ongoing challenges to the country's efforts to boost economic growth and reduce poverty at the anticipated rate.
