Foreign direct investment in Bangladesh

There has been a drastic increase in the foreign direct investment in Bangladesh, and a considerable number of multinational (for example: Unocal Corporation and Chevron) and local business houses (for example: Pran Group, Square, Boshundhara and Navana Group) made the major investments with high priority in the natural gas sector. The government also set up a number of export procession zones (EPZs) to attract foreign investments and enhance economic growth. The EPZs are managed by the Bangladesh Export Processing Zone Authority.
