The Bangladesh Bank and the World Bank will jointly organise a press conference at the Bangabandhu International Conference Centre in the capital at 4pm today.
The press conference will be arranged on the occasion of a five-day official visit of World Bank Chief Economist Dr. Kaushik Basu, who arrived in the capital on December 12, 2015.
He is visiting Dhaka at the invitation of Bangladesh Bank (BB) Governor Dr. Atiur Rahman.
After a meeting with Finance Minister AMA Muhith on Monday, Dr Basu said, Bangladesh would be able to attain 8 per cent GDP (gross domestic product) growth in the next three years provided it increases its investment-to-GDP ratio to 34.0 percent.
