Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina recently urged investors from across the world to invest in Bangladesh, making the best use of the opportunities on offer. She said this while virtually addressing the inaugural session of the two-day International Investment Summit 2021 organised by Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA) in Dhaka.

“I believe investors will be able to learn more about the potential of different investment sectors in Bangladesh through this conference. New markets will particularly be created for Bangladeshi products, and Bangladesh will be able to attract the desired investment,” she said.

Hasina said the government has identified 11 potential investment sectors—including leather and jute textiles, according to Bangladeshi media reports.

The government has built 39 high-tech parks and building 100 economic zones in phases, she said. “We’ve received investment proposals of $27.07 billion in the economic zones.”

Currently, about $30 billion investment proposal is awaiting implementation in 79 public-private partnership projects, she added.
