Professor Mustafizur Rahman is currently serving as Distinguished Fellow at the Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD), a leading think tank in South Asia. Prior to this he was Executive Director of the CPD (2007-2017). After having completed his secondary and higher secondary education from Mirzapur Cadet College, Professor Rahman went to the then Soviet Union for higher studies, where he was trained as an economist. He did his Masters in Economics, with Distinction, from the Kharkov State University, Ukraine and Ph.D in Development Economics from Moscow State University, Russia. His Ph.D dissertation dealt with issues of structural impediments to Bangladesh’s economic growth. He has continued to remain interested in this and related themes, particularly from the perspective of designing appropriate policies and addressing implementation related challenges in this connection. At the same time, his academic interests and professional pursuits have led him to a range of other areas of contemporary relevance to Bangladesh and other low income economies, in national, regional and global contexts. Professor Rahman’s areas of current research interest include Bangladesh’s fiscal-monetary policies and macroeconomic performance, trade policies and trade reforms, globalisation, regionalisation and regional trading arrangements, connectivity in Southern Asian region, WTO, multilateral trading system and interests of low income countries, implementation challenges of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Bangladesh, and graduation challenges of the LDCs. He has published widely in professional journals both in Bangladesh and abroad, and has authored books and monographs in areas of interest and expertise. Dr. Rahman is a Series Editor of South Asia Economic Policy Studies published by Springer.
