Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus announced that exports from Bangladesh have increased by 13% since the government took office. Speaking during a speech to the nation on the occasion of Independence Day and Eid al-Fitr, he highlighted that container handling rose by 7% in January, signaling a positive trend for the country’s economy.
Dr. Yunus noted that the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA) has already begun addressing common issues faced by investors, including licensing requirements and repatriation laws.
Next month, BIDA will host a four-day international investment conference in Dhaka, featuring participation from renowned global investors. Companies such as DP World, Singapore PSA, and A.P. Moller-Maersk have already proposed several billion dollars in investments.
He also discussed his recent visit to the United Arab Emirates, where he proposed establishing an industrial zone for Bangladesh, which was well-received. The plan includes setting up a halal meat processing facility for supply to the Muslim world, followed by a fish processing plant.
The Chief Adviser’s remarks open new avenues for investment in Bangladesh, which will accelerate the country’s economic development.
