Balance of trade essentially means exports - imports,
GDP= CONSUMPTION +INVESTMENT+ GOVT SPENDING+ (EXPORTS-IMPORTS) in its simplest form, bangladesh says that they will be importing more than they will be exporting to India but this is hogwash.
There are cases wherein a quota system or even a tariff system is a maximal solution and also producing the good in which you have a comparative advantage in producing, ie its relatively cheaper for bangladesh to produce a certain basekt of goods, is better and more efficient for Bangladesh and they still end up having more national income.
