Eleven Chinese companies have expressed interest in investing a combined US$9.21 billion in Bangladesh, signalling growing confidence in the country’s investment climate following high-level discussions during Prime Minister Tarique Rahman’s visit to Beijing.
The investment proposals were presented during a meeting between the prime minister and executives of the Chinese companies recently, according to Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA) Chairman Ashik Mahmud Bin Harun Chowdhury.
Speaking at a press briefing, the BIDA chairman said the proposed investments reflect renewed confidence among foreign investors, driven by Bangladesh’s improving political and economic stability.
Ashik Mahmud noted that Bangladeshi officials had successfully highlighted the country’s stable business environment and investment potential during engagements with Chinese investors, encouraging greater interest in expanding manufacturing and industrial investment in Bangladesh.
If realized, the proposed investments could significantly strengthen bilateral economic cooperation and support Bangladesh’s efforts to attract more foreign direct investment across key industrial sectors.
