Bangladesh is the most efficient and appropriate location for US investment, according to Dr Rashed Al Mahmud Titumir, the prime minister's adviser on finance and planning.
He addressed this on Thursday while serving as the chief guest at a roundtable conversation hosted by the Business Council for International Understanding (BCIU) in Washington, DC.
State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Aninda Islam Amit attended the programme as a special guest, according to the Press Wing of the Bangladesh Embassy in Washington.
According to the BCIU, the conversation gave US business executives a chance to speak with a senior official of the Bangladeshi administration directly about the nation's economic prospects, reform objectives, investment climate, and initiatives to improve trade and investment relations with the US.
In his speech, Titumir said, “A democratic administration, led by Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, now governs Bangladesh.”
He added that citizens have placed their trust in the BNP, continuing the legacy of Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman and former Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia.
“Prime Minister Tarique Rahman is working responsibly to fulfil the public's trust. Bangladesh is now a very effective and suitable country for US investors,” the adviser said again.
State Minister Amit said, “Bangladesh has a large workforce, and the government is taking initiatives to ensure energy security.”
He also said that efforts are underway to import LPG from the US, adding that energy stability is being ensured for investors.
