Bangladesh's economic zones have attracted nearly US$300 million in private investment with support from the World Bank, creating around 42,000 new jobs.
The investment has helped create employment opportunities and expand business development prospects in the country's economic zones, contributing to efforts to build a stronger and more resilient economy, according to a post by the World Bank Bangladesh on its official Facebook page.
The World Bank highlighted the achievements as part of its efforts to mobilize private capital and promote investment-led economic growth in Bangladesh.
The initiative underscores the potential of economic zones to attract domestic and foreign investors, generate employment and strengthen the country's industrial base.
The World Bank's post also emphasized the role of private capital mobilization in creating opportunities for businesses and supporting Bangladesh's long-term economic development.
