Women entrepreneurs
Funding women entrepreneurs is essential achieving SDGs
Bangladesh is a progressive nation with a burgeoning development landscape. The possibility of women entrepreneurs thriving in our country is exceptionally bright. With necessary support, female entrepreneurs can contribute even more to national economic development by nurturing their innovative talents. According to the 2013 Economic Census, there were around 7.8 million enterprises in Bangladesh, with only about 7 and half being women-owned. However, with the right assistance, women entrepreneurs have the potential to significantly enhance the nation's economic progress. We are eagerly awaiting the upcoming census. Over the past 11 years, not only has the number of entrepreneurs in the country increased, but the number of women entrepreneurs has also significantly risen. There is no doubt that the growth of female entrepreneurs has been extensive. According to some opinions, the current rate of women entrepreneurs in the country is 20%. According to others, this number might be even higher.
