Speakers: Mr. Daisaku Kihara, Division Chief Mr. Jiri Jonas, Senior Economist Ms. Racha Mousa, Economist Mr. Bhupal Singh, Advisor to Executive Director Mr. Ragnar Gudmundsson, Resident Representative Mr. Muhammad Imam Hussain, Economist Date: 12 December Place: Bureau of Economic Research, 2nd Floor, Arts Building, University of Dhaka Economics Study Center in association with Department of Economics, University of Dhaka held a public lecture on the topic ‘How Nations Succeed: Manufacturing, Trade, Industrial Policy & Economic Development’ by Professor Dr.Murat Yülek, Director, Centre for Industrial Policy and Development, Istanbul Commerce University on 1st October, 2019.
Dr. Yülek has taught at Georgetown University. A widely published former IMF economist and a corporate and banking executive, he has had responsibilities that include economic development, corporate finance and management, and macroeconomic policy in various countries. He advises governments, international institutions and corporations. Why are some nations rich and others poor? This is a question that has challenged economists for centuries. A definite answer would satisfy a lot of them—and make poor nations rich. Murat Yulek’s answer to that question is manufacturing and industrial policy. The lecture revolved around many of such issues in details. On 29th September 2019, Economics Study Center collaborated with Economics Cultural Club to organize EconDU Day 2019, the customary annual celebration event of the Department of Economics. In keeping with the tradition, the day marked the farewell of the departing 93rd batch and celebrated the welcoming of the freshman 98th batch. Current and former students and esteemed teachers were present to enjoy the day-long extravaganza filled with spectacular and unforgettable performances from the students and prominent musical groups such as Warfaze, Shohorbondee and দ্যা জয়াস প্রকল্প.
