Come and make Bangladesh your home: Hasina to UAE investors

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today invited investors from United Arab Emirates to avail lucrative opportunities in Bangladesh, harness its potentials and make Bangladesh their home.

“Come and make Bangladesh your home. I assure you all that Bangladesh is now a land of lucrative opportunities,” she said.

She made the call while addressing the Bangladesh-UAE Joint Business Council virtually.

Hasina said that Bangladesh will become “Sonar Bangla” or “Golden Bangladesh” as envisioned by the Father of the Nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

“Thus, I end here by extending to you all a very warm invitation to come and join us in that dream and vision for Bangladesh,” she said.

She said that Bangladesh has been one of the very few economies in the world that grew even during the pandemic, reports UNB.

“Our sustained growth has been made possible by clear vision, prudent planning, sound governance, political stability, and tireless efforts of our hard-working people and spirited entrepreneurs. Today, Bangladesh has emerged as a Development Miracle,” she said.

In this connection, she mentioned that the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) predicts that Bangladesh will become the 24th largest economy of the world by 2036.

She said that the equitable and inclusive “development model” of Bangladesh has laid a solid foundation on which to further develop.

She mentioned that Bangladesh is on its way to turn its US$ 416 billion economy into one of the largest economies of the world soon and become a developed country by 2041.

“Bangladesh is moving fast in urbanization, industrialization, and in increasing tele-density to connect individuals to governance, innovation and markets. Our aim is to connect our factors of production seamlessly into the global markets,” she said.
