Govt mulls ‘roadshows’ to attract investment in closed state-run factories

The government has decided to organise roadshows to attract investment in Bangladesh's closed and loss-making state-owned industrial enterprises.

Relevant authorities have also been given directives to complete the necessary preparations within this month.

The decisions on reopening closed industrial factories were made at a meeting presided over by the prime minister on Thursday at the Cabinet Division conference room in the Secretariat, Deputy Press Secretary Mostafa Zulfiquar Hasan said.

He said, “Prime Minister Tarique Rahman held a meeting on the reopening of closed and loss-making factories under the Ministry of Industries.”

“The government will soon organise roadshows to attract both domestic and foreign investment in these factories. The meeting gave directives to relevant authorities to complete all necessary preparations within this month.”
