approximately 60,000 units to this sector market in the past 20 years. The sector now
employs about 2 million people,\ which consists of architects, engineers, management
officials, direct and indirect labors. The average contribution to GDP of this sector in the last
fiver years was 12- 14%. In 2007-08 . The growth rate of this sector fell to 5.93% from
7.01% of 2006-07 (Amin S., 2008). It drastically dropped from the previous years (Graph-1)
(REHAB, 2004). Real Estate to Real Economy in Bangladesh From 1994-95, over the last 10
years, Bangladesh real estate sector grew at an average of 3.64% reaching the peak at 3.83%
in 1999-00. Though it had a fall in 2000-01, there was recovery in 2001-02. For the last 5
years this sector grew impressively and showed a smooth rising trend. The comparative
scenario of GDP shows a steady 6% growth for Bangladesh. According to the real estate
experts, as GDP of Bangladesh is still below that of other South Asian Countries, Bangladesh
has more to grow which can be fostered by continuous increase in the sHere and growth of
real estate sector in the country. This contribution of real estate and construction in GDP of
Bangladesh was 16.20% in 1994-95, which became 16.69% in 2000-01 and 17.22% in 200405. This sHere slowed down to around 8% in FY 2008 (Graph-2). It was probably due to the
high price barrier for larger portion of population to buy real estate apartments. It was also
almost saturation of the already existing high end population market. The housing real estate
businesss untapped potential is quite evident from the real estate apartment penetration
in the neighboring countries of Bangladesh (Graph-3). Islam M. S. and Hossain A. (2008)
depicted the value addition of the overall housing sector inclusive of the real estates falls in
different areas. As explained by Islam M. S. and Hossain A. (2008), among the 21 subsectors
under the housing industry, Steel (29%), Work Force Labor (20%) and Cement (11%) are the
highest contributing subsectors. Thus the real estate being the most crucial housing
facilitating private channel is extremely vital and it has to have a large backward supply chain
for its sustenance.
