GDP wise ranking of Bangladesh

I didn't know that GDP wise Bangladesh is the 58th largest economy of the world. According to world banks ranking, Bangladesh is ahead of Croatia, Qatar, Bulgaria and several other European economies. Although it is mostly because of very large population and GDP per capita is one of the lowest, it feels good to be 58th largest economy round the world. And GDP growth rate wise Bangladesh is ranked 67th according to CIA world fact book. The growth is much higher than most of the developed economies. And this fact is based on 2007 data. This year position is likely to be improved because the Bangladesh has remained mostly unaffected by the global financial turmoil. In fact when the world is busy for their survival, we are being lucky to remain in a corner where economy is showing no sign slowing up.
