Bangladesh now a most ideal place for investment: Prime Minister

Calling for more Japanese investment in Bangladesh, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said Bangladesh is going to become a regional hub for investment, industrialization and exports due to the government's policies.

He said this while inaugurating the Bangladesh Investment Summit today (Thursday) at the Galaxy Ball Room in Tokyo. Sheikh Hasina said Bangladesh will emerge as a regional hub for exports to various destinations in the UAE region and beyond.

Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) and Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA) jointly organized the conference titled 'Trade and Investment Opportunities between Bangladesh and Japan'.

11 Memorandums of Understanding (MoU) were exchanged between Bangladeshi and Japanese private companies including JCCI and FBCCI in the presence of the Prime Minister of Bangladesh.

BSEC Chairman (Senior Secretary) Professor Shibli gave a presentation at the Rubayat-ul-Islam conference.

Noting that the return on investment in Bangladesh has been consistently high, he said, besides, Bangladesh's business-friendly financial and non-financial policies and incentives, stable democracy, prudent governance and leadership will ensure good results for foreign investment.

He said, we can confidently assure that Bangladesh ensures a secure future for global investors. We welcome investors from all over the world and especially Japanese investors to invest in Bangladesh.

He also said that actual investment is still low. We want more investment from Japan. I invite you all to come to Bangladesh and explore the business and investment opportunities.
