28. Future of IT Sector
The prospects of the sector have compelled the government of Bangladesh to set a target of USD 1 billion export earnings by
2018.
Bangladesh has to think big and think different in order to achieve this mammoth feat. Current growth rate forecasts show
exports to be USD 490 million by 2018. Less than half of the target amount.
Not only increasing revenue in IC but in country we need to optimize every sector by means of IT, so that people can
ensure easy and healthy life. When proper environment comes it could be consider as best output of population in a
country.
