According to the organisation, it will definitely have some positive impact on the businesses of the current foreign investors in Bangladesh and also act as the catalyst for attracting FDI in different sectors in Bangladesh.
FICCI said not imposing a tax on the company's contribution to the Workers' Profit Participation Fund (WPPF) will encourage foreign investors to conduct their business in a compliant manner and would be an example of the government's initiative to create a business-friendly environment in Bangladesh.
