Bangladesh saw a robust rise in net Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) during the third quarter of 2025, reflecting growing investor confidence despite global economic uncertainties.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Bangladesh Bank data, net FDI inflow for July\u2013September reached $315.09 million, marking a 202% year-on-year increase from $104.33 million in the same period of 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n

All major components of FDI showed significant improvement in Q3.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Equity investment rose to $101.12 million from $76.79 million a year earlier, while reinvested earnings jumped nearly threefold to $211.47 million from $72.90 million. Intra-company loans also reversed course, moving from a negative $45.36 million to a positive $2.49 million.<\/p>\n

The strong Q3 performance built on a solid H1 showing, when net FDI in April\u2013June reached $303.27 million, up 11.4% from $272.22 million in the same quarter of 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Overall, net FDI in the first half of 2025 rose more than 61% compared to H1 2024.<\/p>\n

Ashik Chowdhury, executive chairman of Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (Bida), said, “Bida’s core focus is improving the business climate and building a credible investment pipeline. It is encouraging to see these pipelines convert into actual inflows.<\/p>\n

“While Q4 may see some moderation ahead of elections, we expect a rebound afterward, supported by a strong investment pipeline.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

He added that Bida’s dedicated investment pipeline for 2025 has already exceeded $1.5 billion, in addition to traditional registered proposals, signaling continued optimism among investors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bangladesh saw a robust rise in net Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) during the third quarter of 2025, reflecting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":239914,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[121270,40038,58226,40047,72,121265,88551,39296,113,56625,121271,121264,5033,121269,13094,121267,61,16075,60,13371,121266,121268,40041,9985,40045],"class_list":["post-239913","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-economy","tag-bangladesh-breaking-news","tag-bangladesh-news","tag-bangladeshi-newspapers","tag-bd-news","tag-business","tag-business-news-bangladesh","tag-climate-news","tag-cricket-news","tag-economy","tag-economy-news-bangladesh","tag-english-daily-newspaper","tag-english-newspaper-bangladesh","tag-entertainment-news","tag-explainer-journalism","tag-financial-news","tag-global-south-news","tag-ie","tag-international-news","tag-ireland","tag-lifestyle-news","tag-politics-news-bangladesh","tag-sports-news-bangladesh","tag-tbs-news","tag-tech-news","tag-the-business-standard"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239913","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=239913"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239913\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/239914"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=239913"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=239913"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=239913"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
