  I'd say that Bangladesh is still doing better than Pakistan as it is not involved in any active proxy wars with another country. Pakistan has a massive debt problem and has essentially become a Chinese puppet nation. Remember how few years back Chinese workers on the belt and road project in Pakistan beat up the police (or was it military personnel? ) who were trying to tell them not to go to nearest town for their own safety?
context: I feel like a better comparison would be between Pakistan and Bangladesh, given that both of them were given the similar starting parameters (caveat is Bangladesh had a lot less support/investment).
