This document summarizes research on the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Bangladesh. It finds that while FDI in Bangladesh has fluctuated between $276 million and $1.7 billion annually since 2002, it has had a positive impact on GDP growth, especially in the agriculture sector. However, FDI is also hindered by problems like complicated bureaucracy, political unrest, lack of infrastructure like reliable power, and inconsistent policies. The document recommends ensuring good governance, coordinated agencies, accountability, and political and policy reforms to improve the environment for FDI in Bangladesh.
