At the FDI Conference 2026 held at the Bangladesh-China Friendship Conference Center, Prime Minister's Adviser and his Office Spokesperson Mahdi Amin highlighted the government's dedication to attracting foreign investment and fostering a conducive business environment. Speaking at the event titled 'Accelerating Foreign Investment for Employment and Prosperity in Bangladesh,' organized by the Foreign Investors' Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), Amin outlined the government's strategies to create an investment-friendly atmosphere.
'The government aims to create an investment-friendly environment that will generate new employment opportunities while reducing the cost of doing business and opening up new avenues for trade facilitation,' Amin stated. He emphasized the simplification of the decision-making process by reducing bureaucratic complexities and accelerating the work of multiple ministries, which has benefited both the public and the business community.
Amin noted that the recently announced budget reflects these efforts, being both people-friendly and business-friendly. Describing foreign investors as 'Brand Ambassadors of Bangladesh,' he said they are not only conducting business but also promoting the 'Made in Bangladesh' slogan globally.
The government intends to establish a permanent platform for continuous dialogue between the business community and policymakers, ensuring that the views of entrepreneurs are reflected in policy formulation. The conference was attended by Commerce Minister Khandaker Abdul Muktadir, State Minister for Land Mir Mohammad Helal Uddin, FICCI President Rupali Haque Chowdhury, BIDA Chairman Ashik Chowdhury, and around 600 local and foreign investors, policymakers, and diplomats.
Earlier, Prime Minister Tarique Rahman attended the conference as the chief guest, underscoring the government's high-level commitment to these initiatives.
