The Prime Minister’s recent visit to China promises opening of a new horizon of investment from Chinese entrepreneurs in the near future. There are multiple reports which state that Bangladesh has slowly risen among the ranks of countries which have a potential to be invested in. Already there are a number of projects which are going on in the country which are partially being realised through investments from abroad. 

On another note, the investment of China and Japan in Bangladesh is quite substantial so far and will result in a boost in the infrastructure and economy when completed.

An overall surmise of the recent talks of the Prime Minister with KSA, Japan, Russia and now the ongoing session with China point towards the fact that the diplomatic state of Bangladesh has gone up to such a level that multiple foreign nations are now showing their interest to invest in Bangladesh. Recent reports published in this daily suggest that the current economic environment of Bangladesh is optimum for investment to be made here. On top of that, there are already a number of big corporations who have shown an interest and have come forth to work in joint venture projects.

On the other hand, the fact that such an initiative has been made by the international community of investors is quite laudable. Along with infrastructure, energy, aviation, tourism and a plethora of other crucial sectors, foreign investors are looking for possible new ventures in the country for future investment opportunities. In that regard, the MoU signed between China and Bangladesh will further bolster the ties between the nations and create better trade opportunities. 

The economic state of Bangladesh has become better during the past decade. The mega projects of Padma Bridge, Metro Rail, Payra Power plant, Rooppur Nuclear Power plant and a number of other projects all are going at a steady pace towards being completed. The enormous leap which Bangladesh will make after the completion of these projects in terms of economy, infrastructure and trade can be left to the imagination of people. As such, it is high time for foreign investors to leap into the action and gain a foothold in the march towards fulfilling the SDGs of Bangladesh and making it into an example for other nations to follow.
