While opening the two-day programme marking the 60th anniversary of the Foreign Investors Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) and Investment Expo-2023 at a city hotel Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina welcomes all investors from world in particular to see the opportunities for investment in Bangladesh.
The government is doing everything it can to facilitate smooth, easy and efficient ways of doing business in Bangladesh. The government has been taking every possible measure to attract overseas investment. Bangladesh is building 100 Economic Zones, Hi-tech and Software Parks and it is offering the foreign countries to invest here. The government assured foreign investors that Bangladesh ensures a solid future for global investors as it is going to be a regional hub for investment, industrialisation and export due to her government’s pragmatic policies. Bangladesh’s business friendly fiscal and non-fiscal policies and incentives, stable democracy, prudent governance and leadership guarantees foreign investment will return good value. Many developed countries like India, US, UK, Europe, Canada, Australia Saudi Arabia and China have already expressed their interest to make large-scale investments in Bangladesh.

The country has already made significant progress in the investment arena by offering quicker services at cheaper rates. Bangladesh, as a country, is now cited as a ‘Role model for development’ and sets examples in many fields ranging from poverty reduction, empowerment of women, digitalisation, food production, and in addressing climate change challenges.
It has already achieved tremendous successes in different sectors in last 14 years and 10 months. The country now marching ahead on the highway of development, invites all investors from world over to come to Bangladesh and explore the potentials of business and investment opportunities. We hope this event will play an import for the business leaders as the world is now facing a complex combination of challenges because economic recession is created due to Covid-19 pandemic and Russia-Ukraine war.
This will be an instrument to highlight Bangladesh’s status of progress in the economic and social fronts to the global arena and also successfully identify the pressing needs of Bangladesh’s economy through their deliberations and discussions.
