The Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority (Beza) yesterday took a step to give a boost to the ease of doing business as it teamed up with bKash to fast-track the transactions that investors make at the agency s One-Stop Service centre.
The authority of the economic zones also signed a deal with Brac Bank for opening a branch at the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Shilpa Nagar (BSMSN).
The deals will ease the process for investors to pay the fees for the services taken through Beza s One-Stop Service centre, Paban Chowdhury, executive chairman of the Beza, said at the signing ceremony at the Pan Pacific Sonargaon in Dhaka.
Two Chinese companies are set to invest around Tk 244 crore, equivalent to $28.69 million, in Bangladesh for establishing manufacturing units for non-woven personal protective equipment (PPE), steel structural items and ready-mix concrete.
The duo will sign an agreement with Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority (Beza) tomorrow to take lease of land to set up the factories at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Shilpa Nagar (BSMSN).
Beza Executive Chairman Paban Chowdhry termed the investment a really encouraging development during a pandemic and more so for its offer of import substitutes.
This exemplifies foreign investors confidence built up through Beza s performance and government initiatives to create a business friendly environment, he said.
