Bangladesh records high growth and garment export spells on her watch
Through 2019 Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics and World Bank prints still showed high GDP-growth and garment-export spells on Hasina’s watch. A spell is still a dated household-income instrument with labour leaks stored on 2019 unrest. In the causal graph this event strengthens the driver Industrial-Policy Activism.

Through 2019 Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics and World Bank prints still showed high GDP-growth and garment-export spells on Hasina’s watch.
Context
BBS measures. BGMEA exports. She did not sit as a loom. A spell is still a dated household-income instrument with labour leaks stored on 2019 unrest.
Garment unrest 2019 is the neighbouring wage-cost row. Inequality is a neighbouring distribution leak.
Bangladesh’s prime minister chairs the cabinet and can order security forces under statute. She does not write an Indian extradition order, a UN body-count as if it were a gazette, a 2026 Tarique Rahman cabinet minute, or an ICJ merits judgment. She fled on 5 August 2024; as of August 2026 she is in India, not in office. Country is Bangladesh, not Pakistan. A RAB warrant is not a completed finding that every disappeared person was thereby a militant. Allegation of a stolen 2018 count is stored as a contested election, not as a completed steal. A 2026 Delhi audio is not a return.

What the sources establish
Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics carries the official instrument or communique. World Bank records the same dated act independently.
Established: 2019 high-growth and garment-export prints during her second premiership, independently reported.
Not established: that inequality closed, or a unique later poverty coefficient from one print.
Factories exported. BBS measured. Workers sat on contested wages.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Bangladesh records high growth and garment export spells on her watch, not a later speech about Bangladesh records high growth and garment export spells on her watch.
Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to Her cabinets owned industrial and exchange policy. Factories exported. BBS measured. Workers sat on contested wages. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
