This report brings the two discourses of macroeconomic policy and poverty together in the specific context of Bangladesh. The objective is to identify the salient features of what would constitute a pro-poor macroeconomic policy in Bangladesh. The report begins by providing an overview of poverty and inequality in Bangladesh and the structure and sources of growth in the economy over the last two decades.
