Claim: IMF in its latest World Economic Outlook stated that "India will be poorer than Bangladesh by 2025".
Fact-check: The IMF World Economic Outlook report 2020 did not claim that India will be poorer than Bangladesh by 2025 - FACTLY
Verdict: this claim originated in 2020, when the imf outlook projected that bangladesh's per capita gdp had surpassed india's. however, this conclusion can be misleading because gdp per capita does not directly indicate a country's overall wealth. importantly, since then, india has outperformed bangladesh in various economic metrics and is projected to continue doing well in the future. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
