Planning Minister MA Mannan has urged the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA) and other authorities concerned with the government to cut down unnecessary rules which are not friendly for investment in the country.
The minister was speaking as the chief guest at a webinar on Attracting Foreign Investment in Bangladesh and Branding Bangladesh jointly organised by BIDA and Better Bangladesh Foundation (BBF) on Saturday night.
Mannan said there are various rules on the books of the government which are not friendly towards investment. You know (BIDA), I know (about the unnecessary rules). Since we know, let s push it out. clean it. Let s keep fewer rules…so that business can be done speedier, the minister said.

As the global energy demand continues to grow along with atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide (CO
2), there has been a major push to adopt more sustainable and more carbon-neutral energy sources. Solar/wind power and CO
2 capture – the process of capturing waste CO
2 so it is not introduced into the atmosphere – are two promising pathways for decarbonization, but both have significant drawbacks.
Solar and wind power is intermittent and cannot be deployed everywhere; CO
2 capture processes are incredibly energy-intensive. Both of these pathways have benefits, but each on their own does not present a viable strategy at the moment. However, a research team led by Dr. Faruque Hasan, Kim Tompkins McDivitt ’88 and Phillip McDivitt ’87 Faculty Fellow and associate professor in the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University, has uncovered a way to combine both of these processes together to increase the efficiency of both.
