Bangladesh Academician expresses concern over slow economic growth

Dhaka, May 09 (ANI): Professor and Chairman of Department of Economics in Dhaka University, MA Taslim expressed concern over slow growth rate and said that the slow down started long before the political unrest and infact the economy has been on a slowdown or a declining growth path since 2011-12.
