In a bid to improve its trade and investment relations with Bangladesh, UK government has shown interest to invest in the SEZs of Bangladesh.

UK wants to invest directly in readymade garments, Bangladesh commerce minister Tofail Ahmed told media after the meet with five-member DFID delegation led by Kennedy. Ahmed added that Bangladesh government is willing to provide the essential infrastructure for investment in SEZs by UK companies.

According to Kennedy, the United Kingdom is focusing on improving its business ties with key allies in the world and Bangladesh is its key partner. “I came from London to learn about the Bangladesh-UK trade partnership and about the work we are doing together as a whole range from SEZ to improve investment climate to attract investment,” Kennedy said.

“If the British investors are interested in investing in the SEZs, we will allocate a separate zone for them, as UK has been Bangladesh's development partner for a long time now,” said Ahmed. He further told the delegation that Bangladesh has adopted a liberal policy where foreign investment firms can invest 100 per cent capital and take back their capital and profit.
