Prime Minister Tarique Rahman said Bangladesh could achieve positive economic change within the next four to five years if the government and business community work together. He made the remarks at a meeting with private entrepreneurs at the Prime Minister’s Tejgaon office on Saturday, August 1, 2026. The Bangladesh Investment Development Authority, or BIDA, organised the discussion. Rahman said serving the country and its people was the government’s goal, and that existing problems could be overcome through joint efforts.
He said both the government and businesses recognise the economy’s current challenges, and discussions on resolving them would continue. Noting that the government is not yet six months old, he said it had already held several meetings with business representatives and forums and was working on sector-specific issues. He added that many problems raised at an earlier meeting had been resolved, while new concerns raised at the latest session would also be addressed.
The meeting discussed business expansion, increased foreign investment and conditions for new industrialisation. Entrepreneurs sought easier loans, policy support and a business-friendly environment, while expressing satisfaction with progress in government initiatives. Of 28 issues reviewed from the previous meeting, decisions were made on 21 and seven remain under process. The government said it would meet businesses again within two to three months and pledged diplomatic support for a plan to raise export earnings to $100 billion by 2030.
