Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday called upon the entrepreneurs including private banks to invest in economic zones side by side with creating investment opportunities for further development as well as ensuring country's economic prosperity.
'We are establishing 100 economic zones for further uplift and ensuring economic prosperity of the country. The private entrepreneurs including banks could contribute to this end by making investment in these economic zones,' she said.
BSS reported, the Prime Minister expressed these views while receiving blankets for the cold-stricken people from Bangladesh Association of Banks (BAB) at her official residence Ganobhaban in the capital on Wednesday evening.
BAB President Md Nazrul Islam Majumder also spoke on the occasion while chairmen, directors and high officials of 32 private banks under the association were present.
Sheikh Hasina also urged the entrepreneurs to invest in the country's rural areas in larger volume to change the economic conditions of the poor people.
'Our aim is to ensure development of the rural people and we want to spread uplift all over the country not of a specific place. So we are setting up 100 economic zones across the country for massive industrialisation along with constructing infrastructures including road and bridges and dredging rivers,' she said.
The Prime Minister also urged the entrepreneurs to focus on area-based investment. 'You will also have to give attention to the investment in your respective areas and give priority to the products that are necessary in your locality,' she observed.
