An agreement has been reached between the Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority (BEZA) and the Dutch-Bangla Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DBCCI) to encourage increased investment from the Netherlands in Bangladesh. This agreement was formalised through the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) at the BEZA Conference Centre in Agargaon, Dhaka, which grants DBCCI affiliation from the Prime Minister’s Office of Bangladesh and BEZA.

The affiliation is expected to increase Dutch investors’ confidence in doing business in Bangladesh through the collaboration of the DBCCI. DBCCI president, Md Anwar Shawkat Afser, also highlighted the upcoming Bangladesh Investment Road Show in Benelux-2023, a mega-event jointly organised by BIDA, BSEC, and DBCCI in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg from September 23-30, 2023. The event will be attended by officials from various organisations such as the ministry of foreign affairs, commerce; BIDA; BSEC; BEZA; Hi-Tech Park Authority, as well as notable businesspeople from both Bangladesh and Europe, according to local media reports.

The delegation aims to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) and promote Bangladeshi products and services to the Benelux region while also promoting business from the region to the emerging Bangladesh market. BEZA’s executive chairman, Shaikh Yusuf Harun, assured all support for this delegation, highlighting that the present government led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has created a friendly environment for investing in economic zones in Bangladesh. Economic zones provide a safe zone for foreign investors in Bangladesh.
