“We see Bangladesh entering a new phase of its economic journey. And as it does so, the challenge is to create decent jobs, skill their workforce, and attract high-quality investments to move up the value chain. It’s to help diversify their economy, ensure a clean energy transition, and prepare effectively for graduation from least developed country status.”
“We hope to see a bold, sustainable, and sustainability-driven vision in the budget, aligning with the expectations of the European Union for the creation of a level playing field for our operators and decisive steps to improve the business environment.”

“From unlocking green and responsible investment to navigating post-LDC trade agreements, from championing a just transition for its workforce to pioneering product diversification beyond apparel, Bangladesh is not waiting for the future. it is building it,” he added.
