HSBC launches new BDO at BEPZA Mirsharai to support investors

The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited (HSBC) Bangladesh has inaugurated a new Business Development Office (BDO) at the BEPZA Economic Zone in Mirsharai, Chattogram.

Through the newly opened office, HSBC will support both local and foreign investors operating in the zone by providing access to its international banking capabilities, including trade, investment and export financing services. The initiative reflects HSBC's continued commitment to supporting Bangladesh's growth as a competitive manufacturing and export hub.

With the addition of the Mirsharai office, HSBC now operates seven Business Development Offices across key export processing zones in Bangladesh, enabling clients to leverage the bank's global network and extensive experience in international trade.

Engineer Mohammad Anamul Haque, project director of the BEPZA Economic Zone, Mirsharai, presided over the inauguration as chief guest. Speaking on the occasion, he said, "The establishment of HSBC's presence at this economic zone is a welcome development. Investors and manufacturers in the zone will now have easier access to the bank's international network and trade services."

Omar Sharif, head of Chattogram banking at HSBC Bangladesh, said, "HSBC has been supporting Bangladesh's export and manufacturing sectors for nearly three decades and today facilitates nearly 10 percent of the country's exports. We are already seeing strong interest from global companies to invest in the BEPZA Economic Zone. We remain committed to equipping them with world-class banking capabilities and supporting their growth as they contribute to Bangladesh's economic progress."

Foreign investors operating in the zone, along with senior officials from BEPZA and HSBC, attended the inauguration.
