The session, held at the Prime Minister’s Office in Tejgaon, brought together CEOs, industry representatives and policymakers to discuss key issues affecting industrial growth and economic development.
According to a statement from the BNP media cell, the discussion focused on challenges such as high production costs, energy supply constraints, regulatory hurdles and measures to attract both domestic and foreign investment.
The Prime Minister emphasised the government’s commitment to improving the business environment and fostering sustainable industrial development.
The meeting also marked the formal inauguration of the Private Sector Advisory Council, a newly established platform designed to enhance structured dialogue between the government and business leaders.
