The Chief Advisor to the interim government, Dr. Muhammad Yunus, said, \u201cTaking responsibility after the coup and rescuing the economy from a deep hole was a big challenge for us. We have been able to overcome that challenge in the last 15 months.\u201d
\nThe Chief Advisor said these things in his address to the nation on Thursday (November 13) afternoon. The Chief Advisor said, \u201cAll economic indicators including exports, foreign investment and reserves have returned to a positive trend. The looted banking sector has already turned around, public confidence has returned. Various steps are being taken to further strengthen the banking sector.\u201d
\nHe said, \u201cAlthough foreign investment from various countries decreased in the post-coup period, foreign direct investment (FDI) in Bangladesh increased by 19.13 percent in the first year after the mass uprising. This has set a unique economic paradigm against the global trend.\u201d
\nDr. Yunus said, \u201cNext week, a 30-year concession agreement for the Laldia Container Terminal project is going to be signed with APM Terminals B.V., owned by Denmark-based Maersk Group. Under this agreement, the European company will invest 550 million US dollars. This is the highest single investment by Europe in Bangladesh so far. Laldia will be the country\u2019s first world-class green port.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
