“The strategic geographical location, demographic dividend, large & expanding domestic market, stable socio-political environment are the key contributors to the rapid economic development,” he added.

He said that Bangladesh has been consistently liberalising its foreign investment policies over the the previous several year.

He further said that the Government has formulated ‘One Stop Service Act’ for the Investment Promotion Agencies of Bangladesh to provide faster and better services.
