BSS, Chittagong :
Housing and Public Works Minister Engineer Mosharraf Hossain today stressed on providing more incentives, including tax holiday, to the investors in 100 economic zones across the country.
“Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina set up Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority (BEZA) and took initiatives to uphold Bangladesh as a developed country. Now the construction works are going on in these economic zones”, the minister said.
He was addressing as chief guest a seminar on ‘Attraction to Invest in Economic Zones’ at Hotel Radisson Blue Chittagong Bay Blue today.
The minister said the government also has a plan to offer a separate economic zone for Chinese investors.

He said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has reduced 25 percent land value in these economic zones to attract the foreign investors.
