Public debt is intended to bridge the gap between domestic savings and investment. This paper examines the effect of public debt on economic growth in Bangladesh in the short run and the long run. It finds a significant positive relationship to exist between public debt and economic growth in the short-run while a significant rise in the public debt in Bangladesh appears to be a burden for the economic growth in the long run controlling for other determinants of growth. This suggests that funds have not been utilized in the productive economic avenues which might have improved the economic growth scenario in Bangladesh. Also, the adverse effect exerted by public debt may further be responsible for a reduction in investment and slower growth of capital stock, which eventually can hamper labour productivity growth in the country in the long run.
