Tata and Bangladesh
Multinationals are essential to a country's development. Recently the Indian giant Tata has shown interest in Bangladesh. If Tata starts its operation in Bangladesh, unemployment problem of the country could be solved to an extent, as it would need a large amount of labour force to fuel its industries. They will also earn foreign currencies for us and may develop infrastructure for their interest. In the past we have seen China showed interest in trans-national corporatins (TNC) by making Special Economic Zones for them. The BNP government can follow such policies but also must limit the freedom of such companies so they cannot exploit us in any way. Low quality goods, if any, produced by Tata should not be allowed to find a place in the domestic market for the greater interest of the people.
