Update on Investment Licensing in Bangladesh: New BIDA Practices
October 11, 2021Dubbed by some “an economic miracle”, even the global pandemic has not been able to stamp out Bangladesh’s upward development trajectory. It eked out its larger neighbor India in terms of GDP growth according to World Bank reporting, at least in 2021, and its projected GDP growth for 2022 is higher than that of Pakistan, Sri Lanka or Nepal. To sum it up, Bangladesh is poised to make one of Asia’s strongest comebacks in the post-COVID era.
