Bangladesh Export Processing Zones Authority (BEPZA) urged Chinese investors to explore investment opportunities in Bangladesh at a seminar in Ningbo, China, co-hosted by BEPZA and the Ningbo Daxie Chamber of Commerce (NDCC). BEPZA Executive Chairman Major General Abul Kalam Mohammad Ziaur Rahman highlighted Bangladesh’s strategic location, a dynamic economy, and a young, skilled workforce. He emphasized the country’s low labor costs and liberalized investment policies, supported by BEPZA’s “One Stop Service” for investors.
Mr. Rahman discussed ongoing developments, including the BEPZA Economic Zone in Mirsharai, attracting 41 enterprises, and three new EPZs in Jashore, Patuakhali, and Gaibandha, expected to be ready by 2025. Currently, 449 enterprises operate in EPZs and the BEPZA Economic Zone, with $6.8 billion in cumulative investment and employment for over 500,000 workers. Of these, 107 Chinese enterprises have invested $1.6 billion, creating jobs for 133,000 Bangladeshis.
