In 2016 political violence continued to upset Bangladesh.Radical Islam continued to rage in the country and to disseminate terror: people belonging to ethnic and religious minorities, along with moderate Muslims were brutally killed.The violence escalated in 2016, reaching its apex with the 1 July attack on the Holey Artisan Bakery, in central Dhaka, a café attended especially by foreigners.In the attack, 22 people were killed, among them 9 Italians and 7 Japanese, mostly garment businessmen.In spite of the alarming political climate, the Bangladeshi economy was prosperous, with a GDP growth at about 7%: Chinese and Indian investments played a prominent role in improving Bangladesh's economy.However, labour conditions and workers' rights remain critical.The Bangladeshi government enhanced international relations by strengthening ties with the United States and India.
