Abstract
Introduction: The investment policies of the Government of Bangladesh are excellent. Bangladesh has already created one of the most attractive and liberal investment regimes in the region. Objective of the study, Methodology, Scope of the Study, Limitations of the study. Literature review: Most new investors and plenty of more experienced ones too, like to stick to what and where they know when it comes to investing their hard-earned cash in equities. For many people, that means investing only in the stock market. The International Finance Corporation of the World Bank, who coined the term in 1981, define an emerging market as any economy where the per capita gross national product is less than $9,385 a year. In this sense, its just a polite or aspirational term for any poor country, and covers around 80% of the global population. Investment Climate in Bangladesh : Bangladesh offers an unparalleled investment climate compared to the other South Asian economies. Bangladeshi products enjoy duty free and quota free access to almost all the developed countries. This access to the global market is further helped by the fact that the policy regime of Bangladesh for foreign direct investment is by far the best in South Asia. Most Bangladeshi products enjoy complete duty and quota free access to EU, Canada, Australia and Norway. Though in limited scale, Bangladesh products already found their access with lower duty in the markets of Thailand, India and Pakistan.
