The Bangladeshi government has announced a plan to significantly increase foreign direct investment (FDI). During the presentation of the proposed budget for the 2026-27 fiscal year, Finance Minister Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury stated the goal is to raise FDI to 2.7 percent of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 2030-31. This ambitious target will be pursued through initiatives focused on creating a more attractive investment climate. Key strategies include streamlining regulations and reducing the cost of doing business within Bangladesh. The budget proposal, presented to the National Parliament on June 11th, signals a strong commitment to boosting economic growth through foreign investment. Further details of the plan are expected to be released as the budget is debated and finalized.
