DHAKA, Aug 13, 2025 (BSS) – Chief Adviser’s Special Assistant for Economic Affairs Anisuzzaman Chowdhury today said that Bangladesh’s economy remains stable despite economic crises across the world and the recent political change in the country.
“In many countries, a change of government through mass uprisings or movements triggers severe economic crises. Bangladesh, however, has proved to be an exception,” he said while speaking at an event titled ‘Foreign Investors Summit 2025’ at a hotel in the city.
The summit was organised by BRAC EPL Stock Brokerage Limited.
In this speech, Anisuzzaman said that the country's GDP has remained largely unaffected despite the recent political change.
"In the context of the global economy, the recent performance of Bangladesh's capital market shows that our economy is stable. Last month, amid a rally in global stock markets, Bangladesh ranked third among Asian countries in market gains. This is remarkable for a market that was once plagued by plunder," he added.
He said that since the interim government assumed office, it has been working to build a stronger and better-governed capital market, aligned with the vision of 'Three Zeros'—zero poverty, zero unemployment, and zero carbon emissions.
Calling on investors, Anisuzzaman said, "Now is a good time to invest in Bangladesh. Our capital market is ready for long-term investments. This is a message not only for foreign investors but also for domestic ones."
The event also featured a welcome address by BRAC EPL Stock Brokerage CEO Ahsanur Rahman, along with opening remarks from Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission Commissioner Mohammad Mohsin Chowdhury, BRAC Bank Chairman Mehriar M Hasan, Dhaka Stock Exchange Chairman Mominul Islam, and Chittagong Stock Exchange Chairman AKM Habibur Rahman.
