Foreign Investment
Make the right decision through technical query
The government and the Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) are apparently in a state of muddle over the reform of the telecommunications sector. In the meantime, mobile operators are trying to ensure the future control of their business by 'seizing the opportunity'. I am using the word 'seizing the opportunity' because despite repeated attempts during the previous two political governments, mobile operators did not get the desired decision in their favor. Now they are trying to cash in on the situation if they can somehow implement their desired decision during the interim government. Such an attempt has clearly been observed since the current government took office. On the other hand, network transmission operators built with domestic investment, interconnection exchanges, international gateways, and international internet gateway operators, want to preserve the existence of their systems.
Deep concern surrounds foreign investment climate
The Foreign Investors Chamber of Commerce and Industries (FICCI), an organisation of foreign investors operating in Bangladesh, expressed concern about the future of foreign investment in the country during a post-budget press conference. They emphasised that investment, whether local or foreign, is a long-term activity, and thus, policy consistency is crucial to attract and retain investment. Frequent policy changes can spook both local and foreign investors. In particular, foreign investors seek policy continuity for the safety of their capital, as withdrawing investment from a country or region is not a simple process.
