Country’s economy has been progressing featured by consistent growth, incremental per capita income and lowering poverty rate as well as consistent development record in recent years, said Dhaka Chamber of Commerce & Industry (DCCI) President Osama Taseer.
The DCCI president made the comment while speaking at a press conference at its office on Saturday.
“We thank and acknowledge the current Government leadership and leading government agencies for remarkable achievements like food security, recognition of MDG role model, electricity coverage for 95 percent people, poverty reduction to 21.8 percent and qualification of LDC graduation criteria,” Taseer said.
Due to recent remarkable economic surge, many MNCs and development companies remark and forecast high aspiration on Bangladesh, the DCCI president added.
He also said the growth spree of Bangladesh is being fuelled by some key infrastructure development projects and timely initiatives of the government towards realizing the vision of graduating into a Middle income country by 2021 and Developed country by 2041.
“Private sector has always been an integral partner of this development journey playing critical roles and contributions. To achieve these long cherished visions of Bangladesh, private sector has many stakes and opportunities to deal in the years to come,” Taseer said.
