A long list of monetary and fiscal incentives is offered by the government to attract foreign direct investment (FDI).

Our racing mate countries of '70s or '80s like Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, etc. have gone far ahead of us in every economic parameter.One of the main reasons why we lag behind is that we lack national reputation. We ranked among the top ten in terms of corruption and we are prone to political instability.Foreign missions here in Bangladesh are sending messages to the citizens of their respective countries to avoid any travel here, if it is not that urgent.
