PM woos entrepreneurs to invest in Bangladesh
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday urged both the local and foreign entrepreneurs to invest in Bangladesh as the country provides maximum facilities for them.
“Those who want to invest, you all can invest here. We want to provide all the necessary facilities to all the local and foreign investors,” she said adding that there is ample scope to invest in every sector, including the country’s export processing zones run by BEPZA and economic zones.
The Prime Minister made the call while addressing the inaugural ceremony of BEPZA International Investors’ Summit 2018 at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre in the capital.
She said no other country perhaps can ensure such excellent investment-friendly atmosphere. “We’re providing maximum facilities, including cent percent repatriation of capital and profit and tax holidays. Besides, we’ve huge skilled and relatively low-cost workers.”
Sheikh Hasina said Bangladesh also has overcome the hurdles in the fields of electricity, energy, roads and other infrastructure facilities.
She said Bangladesh Export Processing Zones Authority (BEPZA) has already made the country’s EPZs as attractive destinations for the investors of both from home and abroad.
