Prime minister Tarique Rahman urged global investors to become long-term partners in Bangladesh’s economic transformation, pledging reforms aimed at building a $1 trillion economy by 2034.
Speaking at the Foreign Investors’ Chamber of Commerce and Industry Foreign Direct Investment Conference 2026, Rahman said the government would strengthen legal protections, simplify tax and value-added tax administration, improve dispute resolution and ease profit repatriation.
“Whether you are a local entrepreneur or a foreign investor, when you invest in Bangladesh, our government will invest in you through our time, support, and policies,” Rahman said.
He said the government is also digitizing public services and improving ports, logistics, infrastructure and energy security. Its first budget included incentives for renewable energy, pharmaceuticals, electronics, digital services, agro-processing, advanced textiles, health care and logistics.
About 600 delegates attended the daylong conference in Dhaka.
