Economic and policy dialogue plays a crucial role in shaping Bangladesh’s growth trajectory, fostering collaboration between policymakers, industry leaders, and stakeholders. As Bangladesh moves toward becoming a developed nation by 2041, structured dialogues are essential to address economic challenges, enhance policy frameworks, and drive sustainable development.

Over the past year, Akij Consulting has been actively engaged in facilitating discussions on key economic and policy issues, providing a platform for meaningful exchanges among government institutions, private sector representatives, and academia. These dialogues cover a wide range of topics, including trade policies, financial regulations, investment climate, labor market dynamics, and technological advancements.

One of the major focuses of economic discussions in Bangladesh is industrialization and foreign direct investment (FDI). Policymakers are working to create a more business-friendly environment by reforming tax structures, improving ease of doing business, and enhancing infrastructure. In this regard, Akij Consulting has been instrumental in bridging the gap between regulatory bodies and investors, ensuring that policies align with global best practices while catering to local economic needs.

Moreover, policy dialogues in Bangladesh often center around social and environmental considerations. With climate change posing significant risks, discussions on green financing, renewable energy policies, and sustainable industrial practices have gained momentum. Akij Consulting has contributed by providing research-driven insights and policy recommendations that support economic resilience and sustainability.

Another critical area of dialogue is financial inclusion and the digital economy. With the rapid adoption of digital payment systems and fintech solutions, regulatory policies must evolve to support innovation while ensuring security and compliance. By engaging with stakeholders in banking, fintech, and government agencies, Akij Consulting has facilitated discussions that drive digital transformation in Bangladesh.
