While opening the Bangladesh Investment Summit at the Westin of Tokyo, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina asked Japanese investors to tap the opportunities for investment in Bangladesh. The government is doing everything to facilitate smooth, easy and efficient ways of doing business in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh is building 100 Economic Zones, Hi-tech and Software Parks and it is offering the foreign countries to invest here. The premier assured Japanese 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. Apart from Japan, Bangladesh also welcomes investors from all over the over to see the opportunities for investment in the country as the returns on investment in the country have been consistently high.
Bangladesh’s business friendly fiscal and non-fiscal policies and incentives, stable democracy, prudent governance and leadership guarantees foreign investment will return good value. In this regard, Bangladesh’s constant efforts are continuing to enhance cooperation, specifically cooperation for peace and stability in the region and beyond, deepening economic cooperation for mutual benefits and regional prosperity, and expansion of cultural cooperation and people to people exchanges.
Many developed countries like India, US, UK,
Europe, Canada, Australia Saudi Arabia and
China have already expressed their interest in

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. They can invest in Bangladesh’s different sectors, including information technology, pharmaceuticals and hospitality as the country offers a wide range of facilities to the foreign investors.
Bangladesh, as a country, is now cited as a ‘Role model for development’. The country is 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. Since Bangladesh is going to graduate from LDC status by 2026, it is working with different developed countries to expand bilateral trade and investment.
A country of 17 million people which is itself a growing market while its location in the heart of a bigger market of nearly three billion consumers, provides a huge attraction for business expansion.
We hope the Thursday’s Bangladesh Investment Summit will play an important role 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. New paths will be opened in trade while foreign investment will also increase.
We hope that this Summit was an instrument to highlight Bangladesh’s status of progress on 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.
