The proposed national budget for fiscal year 2025-26 does not offer a conducive environment for investment and lacks the direction needed to drive industrial growth, said Anwar-Ul-Alam Chowdhury, president of the Bangladesh Chamber of Industries (BCI).

The Bangladesh Chamber of Industries (BCI) today urged the government to review its decision to close stores at 8pm as businesses will incur losses if the shops are closed so early ahead of the Eid-ul-Azha.

Proper utilisation of the proposed fund of Tk 100 crore in the budget for fiscal 2019-2020 is necessary for creation of new entrepreneurs for sustainability of the economy, Bangladesh Chamber of Industries (BCI) President Anwar-Ul-Alam Chowdhury (Parvez) says.
