The two-day Bangladesh Investment and Policy (BIP) Summit 2016 is scheduled to be held in Dhaka on January 24. The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) and Board of Investment (BoP) have jointly organised the summit. This is for the first time the country is holding such a summit expecting participation of foreign investors. As foreign investment is needed to turn Bangladesh into a middle-income country, such a summit is likely to play a pivotal role to this end. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has given a message inviting the foreign investors to invest in Bangladesh, with a promise to provide them with all-out logistic support.
