The Foreign Investors’ Chamber of Commerce & Industry (FICCI) has announced a collaborative initiative with the Government aimed at attracting international investors and enhancing business opportunities in Bangladesh. This announcement was made by FICCI President Zaved Akhtar during the organisation’s 61st annual general meeting held in Dhak.
Akhtar highlighted FICCI’s accomplishments over the past year and reaffirmed the organisation’s commitment to fostering a favorable investment climate in the country. He expressed gratitude for the significant contributions made by member companies and emphasized the importance of collective efforts in driving economic growth and sustainable development.
He also outlined FICCI’s ongoing engagement with the Government and other stakeholders, focusing on four critical areas that concern foreign investors: law and order, energy security, a level playing field, and predictable policies.
“Maintaining a positive international image and facilitating commercial operations depend on effective law and order. Additionally, sustainable, reasonably priced, and dependable energy is essential for medium- and long-term growth,” Akhtar explained.
He further noted that multinational companies require a level playing field to comply with local laws and regulations while contributing taxes that reflect their market share. Finally, he stressed the necessity of consistent and long-term policies to foster investor confidence and create predictable investment conditions in Bangladesh.
The event was attended by FICCI Vice-President Yasir Azman, Executive Director TIM Nurul Kabir, along with board members, CEOs, and officials from member companies.
