He took the initiative to develop foreign investment and trade. When we came to power in 1996, we gave the most importance to the private sector. Open for investment in every sector. From analogue to digital; mobile phones have been delivered to everyone. We provide computer technology education. I started giving loans to the youth.
The Prime Minister also said that the Awami League government has arranged loans without collateral for the youth through the employment bank. Export Development Fund has been created. The government has given financial incentives to the garment industry to deal with the pandemic. Using this opportunity, 9 out of the top 10 garment industries in the world are in Bangladesh.
Referring to the people as the source of the government’s courage, Sheikh Hasina said that Bangladesh is the most suitable place for a win-win situation. So I will tell the businessmen of the country to find your foreign partners. Their technical knowledge can be used in our industry.
