‘Economic zones can turn Bangladesh into global investment destination’

Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industries President Md Jashim Uddin has called for branding Bangladesh as the most favourable investment destination in Asia by attracting local and global investment in the economic zones.

The FBCCI president made this call at a courtesy meeting with Safwan Sobhan Tasvir, president of Bangladesh Economic Zone Investors Association and Bashundhara Group vice-chair, in the capital Wednesday.

The government is providing the most investment-friendly infrastructure and policy support in Asia for investment in special economic zones, Jashim said.

He urged the Economic Zone Investors Association to convey these benefits to global entrepreneurs.

Safwan highlighted the current investment status in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Shilpanagar at Mirsarai and other economic zones.

Bangladesh has huge potential in toy manufacturing, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and the petrochemical industry, he added.
