BEPZA, BEZA partner to develop economic zone in Dhaka
Doulot Akter Mala | Wednesday, 4 November 2015
Two state-controlled zones regulators have tied up to develop an economic zone near Dhaka as the government seeks to catalyze new investments needed to create jobs, while spurring economic growth.
The Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority (BEZA) and the Bangladesh Export Processing Zones Authority (BEPZA) are interested to build the Dhaka Economic Zone at Dohar upazila on a land of 316.35 acres.
BEZA executive chairman Paban Chowdhury said the two government agencies sat together on Sunday and express their willingness to develop the zone.
The move comes at a time when several private sector investors have shown interest to make investment in economic zones cross the country.
