Bangladesh’s State Minister for Commerce, Ahsanul Islam Titu announced plans for a groundbreaking US $ 5 billion fund to boost the country’s export industries and support industrial workers, promising economic resilience.
He made this announcement on 3rd March during a meeting with the Bangladesh Chamber of Industries (BCI) delegation, led by its president Anwar-ul Alam Chowdhury at the Ministry emphasising the Government’s commitment to economic resilience and support for industrial workers.
Industry stakeholders are concerned about the liquidity crisis and that’s why the plan is set to overcome the financial challenges. The meeting with BCI leaders, including President Anwar-ul Alam Chowdhury and senior vice presidents, served as a platform to discuss these concerns and the Government’s proactive measures to mitigate them.
A pilot program that will benefit industrial workers and improve their standard of living has been proposed by the Government. This program, which aims to provide 5 to 6 basic commodities at reasonable prices to workers in Dhaka and the surrounding industrial regions, is being led by the Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB).
