Yunus Urges US to Increase Investments in Bangladesh

Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus has urged American companies to expand their investments in Bangladesh.

On Wednesday, he addressed the US-Bangladesh Executive Business Roundtable, titled “Advancing Reform, Resilience and Growth,” in New York.

The roundtable was organised by the US-Bangladesh Business Council (USBBC) and held at a hotel in the city.

While speaking, Yunus called on leading American corporations, including MetLife, Chevron and Excelerate Energy, to increase their engagement in Bangladesh, his press secretary, Shafiqul Alam, said at a briefing.

Six political leaders from Bangladesh, who are accompanying the chief adviser on his United States tour, were present at the meeting and introduced to the American business executives.
