This investment guide, dated September 2025, introduces foreign investors to Bangladesh's economy, entry routes, tax system and foreign exchange controls. It has five sections: key facts, modes of entry, tax environment and incentives, foreign exchange regulations, and information about the firm.

The key facts section cites 2024-25 export earnings of USD 48.2 billion, GDP growth of 3.97% in FY 2024-25, inflation of 8.29% in August 2025 and an exchange rate of BDT 121.65 to the US dollar, and describes the roles of BIDA, BEZA, BEPZA and BHTPA. The entry section compares liaison, representative and branch offices with private and public limited companies, and sets out the registration steps and indicative timelines for each.

The tax section covers the Income Tax Act 2023, the VAT and Supplementary Duty Act 2012, the Customs Act 2023 and the Stamp Act 1899. It summarises incentives for power generation, PPP projects, exporters, EPZ, economic zone and hi-tech park investors, and start-ups, along with personal tax slabs for assessment years 2026-27 and 2027-28, 15% capital gains tax, the 15% standard VAT rate, import duty ranges, stamp duties and 42 double tax treaties. The final section explains that equity injection needs no prior approval, while foreign loans need BIDA and Bangladesh Bank approval and most outward remittances are restricted.
