Total GDP: 4.5 trln. Taka
Data Source: Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics, 2005/6
Total Employment 64k, including 3k women
In 2000, over 300 companies Only final production, using imported generic active ingredients Only final production, using imported generic active ingredients Largest pharmaceutical sector of any LDC
Highly protected domestic market (only ~5% imports) Only final production, using imported generic APIs Largest pharmaceutical sector of any LDC Only very few companies licensed for high-end markets
e.g. Some API production Significant employment growth
