Bangladesh,
a country of 130
million people,
offers an attractive
investment climate.
It is a liberal
democratic country,
which has a largely
homogeneous population
living in peace
and harmony. There
is a broad non-partisan
political support
for market-oriented
reform. It has
soft handed regulatory
regimes compared
to other South
Asian countries.
There is abundant
supply of trainable,
hardworking and
low-cost labor
force.
The infrastructure
sector of Bangladesh,
which was pre-dominantly
public sector
oriented even
a few years ago
has now been opened
to the private
sector.
The country's
energy sector
has seen an influx
of foreign investment
with foreign companies
setting up power
generation plants
and investing
in gas exploration
and development.
There are now
opportunities
for investment
in all the physical
infrastructure
sectors- power,
gas, telecommunications,
ports and roads.
