$12 billion investment proposal - worth mentioning!
Bangladesh, known as the ‘flood affected’, ‘corrupted’ country, is getting so many investment proposals from around the world now-a-days that it is news worthy.
Even few years back, we being the (un)fortunate bangladeshi used to think there’s no light at the end of the tunnel if you are living in bangladesh. Well, maybe that scenario is changing now. It’s been 35 years since our country was liberated. In this 35 years, this country has only crowned ‘bad titles’ for it. I think now is the time we concentrate on making the country a place where our ‘drained brains’ want to look forward to go back.
Here are the investment proposals:
1. India’s Tata Group wants to invest 2.5 billion to set up a giant steel mill, a 1000MW power plant and a fertilizer factory. UPDATE: This has already been implemented.

2. Malaysia Telekom is investing $300 million in telecommunication and cell phone industry by 2006.

4. The Kingdom group owned by Saudi prince Alwaleed Bin Talal is interested in the hospitality sector, such as hotels and tourism.

5. US billionaire, Microsoft’s co-founder Paul Allen is proposing to invest $1.6 billion building Bangladesh power and fertilizer plants.

These are just some of many investments that are proposed for our country. This is the right time to grab all these foreign investments to build a nation that we all dreamed of making.
