It would also develop sector-specific development strategies based on market demand and investment potential, providing policy guidance to the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposal states that coordinated policy reforms and effective implementation could position Bangladesh as a competitive business destination in the region. Such initiatives are expected to accelerate industrialisation, boost exports, increase investment, generate employment, and contribute significantly to the country&#8217;s long-term economic growth and public welfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Writer: Md.
