Davos: Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus has extended an invitation to global investors to invest in Bangladesh, emphasizing the country’s readiness for enhanced trade and investment ties with an improved business and investment climate. “We have always been saying Bangladesh is ready for an enhanced investment,” Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam told reporters.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Alam highlighted Dr. Yunus’ extensive engagements on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum’s annual summit. He noted that a business and investment-friendly environment is prevailing in Bangladesh, with eased conditions for investment and improved capacity at Chittagong port. With a large young population, Bangladesh has the potential to become an export hub, the press secretary added.
Focusing on the Chief Adviser’s extensive engagements since his arrival, Alam pointed out the unique opportunity provided by the World Economic Forum annual meeting, where top executives of global organizations, including prominent private sector leaders, interact with government and state heads.
