The government of Bangladesh has announced multiple incentives for businesses in the proposed 2026–27 national budget, aiming to accelerate industrialization, attract foreign investment, and expand employment. The budget emphasizes trade facilitation, export diversification, and support for small entrepreneurs. A unified digital platform named 'BanglaBiz' has been launched to simplify business operations, while a heat map identifying 19 promising sectors has been published to attract foreign investors. New export processing zones are under development in Patuakhali and Jashore, expected to create about 250,000 jobs, alongside plans for new economic zones in Kurigram, Nilphamari, Chandpur, and Kushtia.
The budget also proposes duty-free import facilities for fully export-oriented industries, including agricultural products, light engineering, pharmaceuticals, and electronics. Eight potential export sectors will receive duty-free clearance against bank guarantees. To promote eco-friendly industrialization, policy support has been announced for producing electric buses, trucks, motorcycles, and scooters.
Bangladesh Bank has introduced a Tk 60,000 crore 'Stimulus Package 2026' to expand private sector credit flow, with allocations for reopening factories, agriculture, CMSMEs, export diversification, and developing the northern region as an agricultural hub.
