Chief Adviser Fakhruddin Ahmed said Wednesday that his government took measures to make business and investment procedures in the country simpler and easier.

The caretaker government has also moved to introduce online services to attract investors from home and abroad, the chief adviser told a group of young Bangladeshi American business professionals.

The delegates, part of Network of Young Bangladeshi American Professionals (NYBAP) and bdinvest.org, called on Fakhruddin at his Intercontinental the Barclay New York Hotel Suite.

The chief adviser listened to their various suggestions in line with Bangladesh's business procedures and potentiality and urged them to make concrete recommendations for the government to focus on.

Fakhruddin told them about the formation of Bangladesh Better Business Forum (BBBF) last year aiming at government-private partnership that produced "some good results".

Interaction between BBBF, Board of Investment (BoI) and Non-resident Bangladeshis (NRBs), business policy and online service in government institutions were also discussed.

Fakhruddin told the professionals that IT and financial service businesses have great potential in Bangladesh and the government is making an attractive IT policy.

The government is putting everything in line, he said. The chief adviser referred to a number of government organisations, including Biman and DESA, has already been turned into public limited companies.

Fakhruddin said trade inputs are now being released online for importers and exporters.

Introducing NYBAP

 

Dear Fellow Bangladeshi American Professionals:

From the very first day of our working lives, we have been taught the importance of networking. We build these relationships with our colleagues and clients at work and with friends and family in our personal lives. These networks are vital to our success and happiness in all spheres of day-to-day life. However, because of our unique standing as professionals that span two distinct cultures, Bangladeshi and American, we need an organization that addresses our concerns and interests. To meet this challenge, a few of your peers in the Tri-State Area (NY/NJ/Conn) have formed NYBAP, the Network of Young Bangladeshi American Professionals. We currently have chapters in New York, Atlanta and Toronto. and are expanding throughout the United States and internationally..

NYBAP is an organization targeted at young professionals at the beginning and middle stages of their careers. We do not intend to replace or compete with other Bengali professional organizations but instead we would like to work with these organizations to provide meaningful professional and social opportunities and knowledge transfer throughout the Bangladeshi American community. Our founders saw a need for a network drawing together young professionals from all walks of life to share their knowledge and experience. They also recognized that many young Bangladeshi-American professionals are seeking to meet others in a social environment with similar interests and aspirations.


We hope you'll join the Network!
