The book has given a very optimistic view that Bangladesh has all possibilities and capabilities to reach further heights through boosting private investment and business. It mentions that the country's growth momentum will continue under the 8th Five Year Plan and Vision 2030 and Perspective Plan 2041, if public service providers and taxmen become more business-friendly.
The author of the book has long experience about business and financial management. He is also a past president of the Institute of Cost and Management Accountants of Bangladesh (ICMAB) and as a professional his main intention is to provide investment and business-related basic information through this book to the investors and business executives to enable them to work efficiently and rightly handle the compliance issues of businesses.
The book also highlights the problems and prospects of private investment and business. It has placed few recommendations to make Bangladesh an investment destination. It mentions that the on-going development of one hundred economic zones, infrastructure, Bay of Bengal Industrial Growth Belt (Big-B), power generation capacity, LNG terminals, Padma Bridge and other mega projects will attract FDI. However, it lays emphasis on improvement of the quality of public services, ease of doing business index and on-line system of paying taxes for attracting FDI. It also recommends all-out efforts to cope with the on-going developments relating to the fourth industrial revolution and ensure the concerted efforts of the key players to attract and promote private investment and business.
The book highlighted some issues aiming to overcome the impediments to business and make Bangladesh a lucrative investment destination.
