Bangladesh Bank to lift bar on investing abroad

Not long ago, Bangladeshi companies were not allowed to invest abroad. In 2014, a Bangladeshi company was given permission to make such an investment for the first time. Only 16 organisations have had this opportunity so far. However, according to a guideline published by Bangladesh Bank on January 27, any Bangladeshi company will be able to open sister concerns abroad.

What are the possible ways for Bangladeshi companies to invest on foreign land? What does this guideline say? How helpful is it for investors?

In Straight from Star Newsroom, The Daily Star Staff Reporter AKM Zamir Uddin discusses the intricacies of the guideline with Refayet Ullah Mirdha.
