Aminul Islam said peaceful political environment is prevailing in the country and the government is very investment-friendly.
“Now, Bangladesh has a very convenient situation for investment. GDP, per capita income and reserve have increased in Bangladesh. Inflation is almost fixed. Even in the election year, there was no unexpected inflation,” he added.
The BIDA chief said Bangladesh is in the second position in the world in terms of corporate profitability, due to the widespread development of different sectors, like safe investment, manpower, power and energy, communications and information technology.
He said “Globally, FDI decreased by around 19 percent in the last fiscal year. Bangladesh’s position was better than that.”
