While Bangladesh's economy has grown, the Swiss coffers of the super wealthy have easily outpaced and inevitably outgrown that growth. Between 2004 and 2019, the compounded annual growth rate of Bangladesh's real GDP was 10.78 percent (current USD rate). During the corresponding period, deposits to Swiss bank accounts from Bangladesh increased from Tk 3.65 billion in 2004 to Tk 53.67 billion during 2019. Given the constant reports of the financial shenanigans of the influence-mongers, one can't help but wonder how much of it has gone through legal channels. And people from every sphere of the sociopolitical spectrum seem to have a hand in it: from politicians and government officials to prominent industrialists and small scale operators—all have significant involvement in one of the most widespread financial crimes that is money laundering. And of course, there are the more recognised criminals: drug traffickers, human traffickers, terrorists and the likes thereof.
