Overview
Infrastructure bottlenecks are among the largest inhibitors of economic growth in Bangladesh.  The World Bank estimates that Bangladesh must spend $7.4 billion to $10 billion a year until 2020 to bring its power grids, roads and water supplies up to the standard needed to serve its growing population.  The transportation sector alone will require between $36 and $45 billion of investments.  Other priority sectors identified by the World Bank include:  water supply and sanitation, solid waste management, and telecommunications.  
The substantial infrastructure needs offers opportunities for U.S. infrastructure development and engineering services.  Many of the donor-funded infrastructure projects require foreign consultant services.  While Asian firms are sometimes more cost-competitive in construction work, government and private firms have turned to U.S. consultants for specialized engineering and construction oversight for major infrastructure projects including an roads, bridges, highways, land and sea ports, oil refinery and grain silo projects.
