bdtkBangladesh is changing its senerio rapidly and becoming the lime light for investment

“Implications of the recent Bangladesh election for business”at the US Chamber of Commerce in Washington DC yesterday Ms Curtis was speaking as a panelist .
In her comment she cleared the openion that Bangladesh has emerged as an attractive destination for foreign investment.

 This was stated by Ms Lisa Curtis, Senior Research Fellow at the prestigious think-tank the Heritage Foundation, a according to a message received here from Washington DC yesterday.
Two main arguments in favour of her proposal. First, according to Ms Curtis, Bangladesh society is least susceptible to extremism as proved in the recently held election. Secondly, progress in women empowerment in Bangladesh has provided a solid check on the growing radicalisation prevalent in some other Muslim countries. Ms. Curtis also said that economic option seems brighter now than earthier and hoped that there will be more tolerance among the political parties so that they can work together for the people of Bangladesh. She also urged the US government to consider lifting of all tariffs and there by allowing duty free access to products from least developed countries like Bangladesh to USA.

Bangladesh Ambassador to USA Humayun Kabir, who also spoke as a panelist, provided a run down on Bangladesh’s recent election and elaborated on how, compared to other economies in Asia. Kabir urged the US companies to come forward and take advantage of the investment opportunities in Bangladesh.

The economy of Bangladesh has shown strong resilience and thereby acted as a bulwark for the country’s economy in the face of the current global economic and financial meltdown, he said.
Ambassador Kabir give a detailed sketch on how Bangladesh economy has maintained its strong resilience and added that the strong growth in three main areas,—namely internal resource mobilization, agriculture and manufacturing are attributable for this resilience.

Remittance is also flowing strong and the confidence of the business community is growing, he said adding through all these, Bangladesh has emerged as an attractive destination for foreign investment.

Dr Yunus formula can also help recession-racked American families escape poverty

Friday, February 6th, 2009

dr-yunus2Grameen Bank founder Yunus scouts US expansion : Everyone wants to back the US economy ,The trade and policy friend of US are effected by the current bad economy .

Muhammad Yunus of Bangladesh, Nobel Peace Prize winner for pioneering a micro-lending model for the world’s poorest to engage in business, said Thursday his formula can also help recession-racked American families escape poverty

“This is the right time to come here,” Yunus declared as he sought $2 million in seed money to establish North Carolina as another U.S. foothold for his micro-finance institution outside New York.

To relieaf from the scarcity of bad economy Yunus suggest to self employment :”It was not in our agenda to be in a crisis, but the crisis is here,” Yunus said Thursday with several members of North Carolina’s banking establishment flanking him. The micro-lending model means “you create your own jobs instead of waiting for other people to hire you.”

Muhammad Yunus received standing ovations at both UNC Chapel Hill and N.C. Central University on Thursday, where outsized crowds heard the Bangladeshi banker’s thoughts on reducing world poverty and the global economic crisis.

About Grameen Banking :

Grameen’s model has traditionally targeted women because experience has found them to be more responsible than men and more comfortable with group responsibility

The formula also relies on peer pressure instead of collateral to secure the loans. Potential borrowers must form five-member groups that approach Grameen jointly for loans. While each borrower is individually responsible for a loan of up to $2,200, group members cannot borrow again unless all are paid up.
