[FYIstival-South Asia] Bangladesh... Reshaping South Asia

Since independence, Bangladesh has aspired to become an upper middle-income country by 2031. Their inspiration for growth catapulted them to be on track to graduate from United Nations (UN) least developed countries (LDC) status by 2026.

World Bank and International Finance Cooperation (IFC) have supported Bangladesh throughout their transformation journey. To keep them on track, IFC will be introducing a USD5 billion 5-year investment plan to assist Bangladesh on diversifying their current economic sectors. So, what are the sectors?

Join us on this webinar, together with IFC, Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA), partnering chambers from Bangladesh, High Commission from both nations to understand and identify future developments and sectors Singaporean companies can venture into.
