To attract more foreign direct investment (FDI), economists and business leaders have urged the interim government to take immediate steps to reduce the tariffs imposed by the United States. BKMEA Executive Vice President Fazle Shamim Ehsan said, “We expected increased investments after the US imposed higher tariffs on China. But now, the same tariffs are being applied to us. If this continues, investment won’t come to Bangladesh.” Selim Raihan, Executive Director of SANEM, emphasized the importance of sending a clear and positive message to the US. Ehsan, Managing Director of Fatullah Apparels Ltd., echoed this sentiment, urging the government to take prompt action on tariff reductions.
