Bangladesh has a good story to tell foreign investors, but the lack of a sovereign bond is preventing the country from putting itself on the map.
Its capital markets are open to both inflows and outflows. There are no restrictions on repatriating capital or dividends. The taka is stable, government debt is low, its global credit ratings are stable, and the local-currency bond market offers attractive yields: 7.2% for the government two-year bond and 8.4% for the 10-year.

Europe is facing an unprecedented migration crisis nowadays. But instead of resolving it, it is on the verge of making an unprecedented mistake.
