Prime Minister’s Finance and Planning Adviser Dr Rashed Al Mahmud Titumir on Sunday said investors' confidence is being rebuilt through the close harmonisation of fiscal and monetary policies.

He identified the autonomy of the central bank, a stable long-term tax structure, and forensic financial audits, undertaken to identify non-performing loans and underpin a comprehensive bank recapitalisation plan, as the three technical pillars underpinning Bangladesh’s transition to a rule-based, competitive investment environment.

The adviser was speaking at a roundtable titled “The Capital Dialogue”, hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in its conference room.

The event brought together senior representatives of foreign missions in Dhaka, development partners, and financial institutions.

The discussion was convened as a continuation of the “Roadmap for Trade, Growth & Economic Diplomacy Conference 2026”, held on June 13.

In her opening remarks, State Minister for Foreign Affairs Shama Obaed Islam reaffirmed the present government’s firm commitment to revitalise the national economy.

The Finance and Planning Adviser to the Prime Minister outlined the government’s short, medium, and long-term plans to transform Bangladesh into a $1 trillion economy by 2034.

Drawing on Prime Minister Tarique Rahman’s guiding “Bangladesh First” policy for building this trillion-dollar economy, the State Minister for Foreign Affairs underscored the paramount importance of foreign investment to national economic priorities.

She placed particular emphasis on economic diplomacy, channelled through Bangladesh’s missions abroad, as a key driver of expanding foreign direct investment for economic development.

The roundtable was attended by Foreign Secretary Asad Alam Siam, along with senior representatives of the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Industries, the Finance Division, the Financial Institutions Division, the SME Foundation, and Bangladesh Bank.

Representatives of foreign missions in Dhaka and international organisations, including the Embassy of Indonesia, the British High Commission, the Canadian High Commission, the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), UNOPS, UNDP, UNESCO, GIZ Bangladesh, the Overseas Chinese Association in Bangladesh (OCAIB), the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), the Islamic Development Bank, and PPD, were present.

Participants expressed optimism that the roundtable would help advance the recovery, restoration, and reconstruction of Bangladesh’s economy.

They reaffirmed a strong consensus on the need for close coordination and cooperation among the government, multilateral development agencies, bilateral development partners, and international financial institutions.

They renewed their shared commitment to translating Bangladesh’s strategic vision into a concrete, partner-aligned financing roadmap for the years ahead as the country navigates its graduation from Least Developed Country status.
