Ashik Chowdhury, Chairman of the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA), revealed that the investment summit held in Dhaka brought in foreign investment proposals totaling BDT 3,100 crore. The primary objective of the summit was to reintroduce Bangladesh to international investors from a fresh perspective.
During a press conference on Sunday (April 13), he stated, “Investors visiting Bangladesh for the first time mentioned that it's challenging to understand the country's true potential without being here. We've organized this summit modeled on similar events in developed nations, aiming to reshape investors’ perceptions of Bangladesh.”
Chowdhury addressed the fact that Bangladesh is internationally recognized as a densely populated South Asian country. However, he noted that the real scenario differs significantly—a reality understood through direct experience by investors.
The government spent BDT 1 crore on hosting the summit, while other partners contributed the remaining expenses. Chowdhury emphasized evaluating the success of the summit not only by the amount of investment secured but also by the shift in investor perspectives.
The chairman expressed hope that the summit would further improve Bangladesh's investment environment in the future.
