Bangladesh will marginally overtake India in GDP per capita income during the 2026 fiscal year. The projection was shared by the International Monetary Fund in its latest World Economic Outlook data — which also showed India slipping from the fourth largest economy in the world to sixth position. According to the IMF, Bangladesh will see its per capita income reach $2,911 in 2026. The figure is marginally higher than the $2,812 projected for neighbouring India. While the gap is narrow, this is the second time in recent years that Dhaka has outpaced its larger neighbour on this specific metric.
