PM urges expatriates to invest more in Bangladesh

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has urged the expatriate Bangladeshis across the world to make more investment in Bangladesh.

The premier made this call while speaking at a civic reception accorded to her by the expatriate Bangladeshis living in Scotland.

She joined the ceremony virtually from her place of residence here last night (Monday).

Sheikh Hasina also referred to the two per cent incentive introduced by her government for the expatriate Bangladeshis for sending money home from abroad using proper channels.

The government has also established a separate bank for the convenience of the expatriate Bangladeshis, she said.

Responding to some of the inconveniences faced by the expatriates to invest in Bangladesh, the prime minister said actually she didn’t know what kind of problems they are facing for investment.

“There will be a Road Show in London, where I will ask Bangladesh Development and Investment Authority (BIDA) to look into the matter,” she said.
