Commerce Minister Khandaker Abdul Muktadir announced that the government will facilitate the private sector to encourage new investments. Speaking at a contract signing ceremony at the Secretariat on Thursday, he said the government is working with full effort to create employment across various sectors as quickly as possible. He noted that private sector management tends to be more efficient than government operations, and facilitating private investment would help expand job opportunities.
State Minister for Textiles and Jute Shariful Alam stated that the government aims to ensure the maximum and effective use of state resources. To achieve this, initiatives have been taken to attract private investment in closed Bangladesh Jute Mills Corporation (BJMC) mills to revive production, employment, and economic activities. Out of 25 closed mills, 20 have been selected for leasing, with 14 lease agreements completed and production already resumed in nine mills.
According to the State Minister, these mills have created about 9,500 jobs and are producing around 160 metric tons of jute goods daily. Additional land leases and new investments are expected to further expand production and employment opportunities.
