Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Bangladesh has grown substantially over the last decade. For international investors, entering the Bangladeshi commercial landscape requires a nuanced understanding of local statutory frameworks, including registration with the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA), foreign exchange controls under Bangladesh Bank guidelines, and tax incentives.

Key Statutory Compliance Guidelines

Under the Companies Act, 1994, foreign companies can register as a wholly-owned subsidiary, joint venture, or open a branch/liaison office. Each corporate structure entails distinct operational privileges and tax liabilities. Our corporate team provides end-to-end advisories on equity structuring, repatriation of dividends, and obtaining BIDA approvals.
