Through 2020 World Bank and BBS prints still showed wide income gaps the Hasina growth spell did not close.
Context
BBS measures. She did not write a household. A spell is still a dated distributional cost.
Growth 2019 is the neighbouring average-income row. Garment unrest is a neighbouring wage row.
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.
Why it matters
The path is income inequality: a completed wide-gap spell is a distributional cost even when average growth printed.

Evidence
The sources behind this fact and its verification state.

What the sources establish
Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics carries the official instrument or communique. World Bank records the same dated act independently.
Established: 2020 continued wide income gaps during her second premiership, independently reported.
Not established: that she uniquely caused colonial-era gaps, or a unique later calorie coefficient from one print.
BBS measured. Garment and rural files leaked.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Income gaps remain wide despite the growth spell, not a later speech about Income gaps remain wide despite the growth spell.
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 tax, wage, and social-protection instruments. BBS measured. Garment and rural files leaked. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
