Bangladesh

Bangladesh has become a global hub for apparel and textiles, supported by low labor costs, preferential trade access, and a young workforce. The country is now diversifying into electronics, pharmaceuticals, and agri-processing, offering opportunities for foreign manufacturers seeking alternative production bases in South Asia. Our alliance assists clients in assessing Bangladesh’s role in broader supply chain planning and cost-based market diversification.

The government of Bangladesh offers tax holidays, duty exemptions, and fast-track approvals through Export Processing Zones (EPZs) and Economic Zones (EZs). Foreign investors can hold 100% equity in most sectors and repatriate profits freely. We work with our local partner to help clients navigate sectoral policy frameworks, BOI registration, and investment approvals with strategic alignment to local incentives.

While regulatory implementation can be uneven, Bangladesh is taking clear steps toward digitization, infrastructure modernization, and improved business transparency. Public-private partnerships and large-scale infrastructure projects—including ports, bridges, and industrial corridors—are reshaping investment opportunities. Our partner helps clients understand evolving rules and manage risk in a market that continues to reform and expand.

Bordering India and closely linked to ASEAN, Bangladesh is increasingly integrated into regional trade networks. Infrastructure projects like the BBIN initiative and deep-sea port development are opening new routes for trade and logistics. We support clients evaluating Bangladesh’s role in India+1 strategies or as a South Asia production and sourcing base.
