Finance Minister Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury said that business leaders have demanded an uninterrupted energy supply and government support for renewable energy initiatives. He made the remarks on Saturday, April 4, after the first meeting of the Private Sector Development Advisory Council held at the Prime Minister’s Office in Dhaka, chaired by Prime Minister Tarique Rahman.
According to the minister, the ongoing war in Iran has created an energy crisis that is putting pressure on Bangladesh’s economy. Business representatives also called for the introduction of e-visas for foreign travelers to facilitate easier entry for investors.

The minister added that entrepreneurs urged simplification of licensing procedures to encourage medium-sized exporters and called for the launch of a deep-sea port to accelerate trade and import-export activities.
