Bangladesh sees sharp rise in FDI : Report

Despite a 14.96 percent decline in the number of projects in the Asia-Pacific region, Bangladesh achieved significant growth in inflow of foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2012.
The FDI Report 2013 published last week showed around 67 percent rise in FDI funded projects in Bangladesh in 2012 when capital investment and new jobs also increased significantly.
The report is an annual in-depth analysis on inflow of foreign direct investment worldwide by the FDI Intelligence team of the UK-based newspaper The Financial Times.
"The excellent performance of Bangladesh indicates the global shift taking place with a re-allocation of efficiency- seeking FDI away from China and other emerging markets and towards frontier markets such as Bangladesh with their vast untapped labour pools, low costs and market opportunities," the report noted.
According to the report, the growth in Bangladesh is much higher than many other countries in this region. However, Pakistan, Bhutan, Nepal and Sri Lanka were not included in the report.
India experienced 20 percent decline in the inward FDI last year, but it maintained the second position after China and before Singapore. The growth in Indonesia and the Philippines was 7.64 percent and 11.27 percent respectively.
The report finds a strong link between political stability and FDI inflow to Myanmar. After the recent introduction of democracy, the south-east Asian country saw a dramatic increase in inward FDI, with project numbers rising from 10 to 54 in 2012, a fivefold increase. The country also experienced significant growth in capital investment and job creation in 2012.
In terms of our FDI forecast for 2013, the picture is pretty grim. World economic growth is expected to slow in 2013 and with continued political and economic uncertainty around the world a substantial decline in FDI can be expected in 2013 of the magnitude of 20 percent.
