Finance Minister seeks US investment in BD
The business environment in Bangladesh is quite lucrative and a good place to invest, said Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal urging for more investment from the United States in Bangladesh.
The minister made the remark during a courtesy call on US Ambassador to Bangladesh Peter D Haas on Sunday (3 April) at the Secretariat.
"Bangladesh is no longer a 'development miracle', rather a role model of development for others. The country currently stands 41st in the world economy, which was 60th in 2006," he stated.
