Between 1991 and 2000, real GDP in Bangladesh increased by 52 percent, averaging a sustained growth rate of about 5 percent per year. GDP per capita doubled between 1990 and 2003, fueled in part by the growth in traded goods. The growth in exports has eclipsed the growth in imports, and the current account balance is now broadly positive. The share of exports as a percent of imports has increased from 46 percent in 1990 to 78 percent in 2003.
