The first meeting of the Private Sector Development Advisory Council was held in Dhaka under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Tarique Rahman. During the three-and-a-half-hour discussion, business leaders demanded assurance of uninterrupted energy supply to sustain industrial operations and investment growth. Finance Minister Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury briefed reporters after the meeting, noting that the session aimed to strengthen the investment climate and address existing industrial challenges.
According to the finance minister, business representatives also sought government support for renewable energy initiatives, introduction of e-visas for foreign investors, lower bank interest rates, and reforms in the National Board of Revenue to expand the tax base without burdening specific sectors. They further called for easier licensing for medium entrepreneurs, faster trade processes, and the activation of a deep-sea port to boost exports.
Discussions also covered reopening closed factories and reviving dormant government projects. The prime minister listened to the business community’s concerns, and notes were taken for follow-up action to resolve pending issues through continued dialogue.
