Regional & Economic impact of our projects

Scale 1: Park Level Impact

Translating the best practices and immediate infrastructure upgrades required to develop the park and improve the overall worker conditions while attracting global companies to the area.

Scale 2: Community Level Impact

Scale 3: Overall economic impact

Approximately thousands of people would have been impacted leading to an increase in choice, opportunity and quality of life. Lastly, there is an increase in the overall investor confidence and infrastructure upswing in the region which creates its own ripple effect.

At Rahman Industrial Park. we know that our buildings make an impact on the communities in which they are located and on the people who work inside of them. Our buildings become part of the local landscape and remain there for many years.

Why invest in bangladesh?

Bangladesh is now hailed as the newest economic miracle on the planet. With a huge population that is acquiring purchasing power, a strategic position in the world’s most dynamic region and careful economic planning that favors inclusivity and sustainability, Bangladesh is asserting itself as an exciting investment frontier.

Remarkable & Consistent Economic Growth

Bangladesh’s economy has grown at a rate of more than 6% for six consecutive years and is widely recognized as Asia’s most unexpected success story in recent years. Since 2006, it has outgrown Pakistan by roughly 2.5% per year, and in 2018, it is expected to surpass India, although this is also due to the latter’s relative slowdown. What is remarkable about Bangladesh’s quiet revolution is that it comes not only from the traditional combination in Asia of low wages and a strong manufacturing sector, but also from the fact that it “was driven in large part by social changes, starting with the empowerment of women,” notes the reputable Brookings Institution.

AN INDUSTRIOUS WORKFORCE AND LOW LABOR COSTS/POSITIVE CLIMATE

Bangladesh’s population is large, young (over 50% of people are under25), well educated, skilled and industrious. Furthermore, most people speak English, which represents a huge competitive advantage even in comparison with neighboring Southeast Asian countries. Labor costs are about half of Vietnam’s and a third of China’s at about $3 a day(compared to $7 in Vietnam, $9 in Indonesia). It is also important to note that this is a largely peaceful and tolerant society, without any of the tensions, ethnic or other, that sometimes flare up in other countries of the region. For investors, this is a valuable guarantee of stability.

AN INVESTOR-FRIENDLY ENVIROMENT AND TRADE POLICY

The Bangladeshi business environment and trade policies are considered the most liberal and investor-friendly in Asia. There are no prior approval requirements, or limits on equity participation and repatriation of profits and income in most sectors. In terms of trade, Bangladesh enjoys duty-free and quota-free access to many developed economies, notably the European Union, Norway, Canada and Australia. Bangladesh has also signed treaties with 28 countries to avoid double taxation. Further fiscal incentives are available in its economic zones, such as tax exemption for 10 years, exemption from custom duties, and exemption from VAT on electricity and local purchases.

INCREASED GOVERNMENT SPENDING ON INFRASTRUCTURE

Government spending on infrastructure is set to increase according to the current economic plan covering the period between 2016 and 2020. The objective is to reach 21.1% of GDP by 2020, compared to 15.7% achieved in the period 2010-2015.The plan also sets the target of $9.6 billion for foreign direct investment inflows by 2020, which is six times the current volume ($1.6 billion). This brings significant opportunities for investors, particularly in transport, ICT, energy, water and urban development management. Dhaka’s public spending policy has received the thumbs up from the International Monetary Fund, which in its June 2018 report recommends further public investment to upgrade infrastructure, spur private sector activity and create jobs.

A STRATEGIC POSITION IN ASIA

As Asia becomes increasingly powerful in the world economic order, Bangladesh can reap the rewards of its geographical position as a gateway to Southeast Asia, a neighbour to India and a bridge with China, the new economic superpower. Geography has long been a curse for Bangladesh, but it now has a unique opportunity to capitalise on its strategic location to increase trade and connectivity. Its role in the region is also reinforced by its adroit diplomacy and good relations with its neighbours, and it is increasingly valued by Western powers. Expect a much higher level of intra-regional trade and business in the near future, hence more profits to be made.

A GROWING DOMESTIC MARKET

With a population of over 160 million and strong economic growth, Bangladesh has the potential to become a significant market in Asia. Authorities are planning for a sustainable and inclusive development: each year, a growing portion of the population acquires spending power, as opposed to growth that would only benefit the few. Per capita income increased to $1,610in the fiscal year ending in June 2017, from $1,054 five years earlier. Among other factors, Bangladeshis’ purchasing power, notably in rural areas, has increased due to the influx of remittance money from overseas workers.

COMPETITIVE LABOUR COST

The average monthly wage for garment workers in Bangladeshis 5300 BDT (US$ 63). In China, for example, garment workers earn on average about $347 a month.

In fact, increasing costs in developed countries such as China has become the main reason why many companies are moving their manufacturing to other destinations.

Increasing number of Internet users

As confirmed by the latest reports by the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC), and We Are Social and Hootsuite, there are over 80 million Bangladeshis using the Internet in 2018. That makes up 49% of the total population of Bangladesh.

Among countries with the highest Internet penetration percentage in South Asia, Bangladesh ranked 3rd next to Maldives and Nepal.

In fact, Bangladesh’s Internet penetration has surpassed the average of 36% of Southern Asia and it is close to the world’s average of 53%.

Therefore, Bangladeshis are now gaining more access to the Internet, providing excellent opportunities for online businesses, such as banking services and e-commerce, to thrive in Bangladesh

How Mncs have fared in bangladesh

YOY Export Growth

Between 2011 and 2019,Bangladesh’s exports grew at 8.6% every year, compared to the world average of 0.4%.

Other Facilities to foreign investors”, such as:

  • 100% foreign equity ownership
  • Unrestricted exit policy
  • Tax holiday
  • Exemption from dividend tax
  • Double taxation relief
  • Repatriation of capital and dividend
  • Foreign currency loan facility
Public Deb-to-GDP Ratio

Bangladesh has maintained a public debt-to-GDP ratio between 30% and 40%. India and Pakistan will both emerge from the pandemic with public debt close to 90%of GDP. Fiscal restraint has allowed Bangladesh’s private sector to borrow and invest.

Geography

Bangladesh’s geography also offers the country a strategic advantage over its peers. “Bangladesh has a balanced sharing of land and sea, meaning the country can take advantage of land transport with India, Nepal, Bhutan and Myanmar,

Bangladesh is favourable to the investors due to its strategic position at the delta of South Asia acting as an economic corridor between South and Eastern Asia

There is also the geopolitical advantage of being in the middle of two large economic giants, India and China – there has been many spillovers from these two economies
