DHAKA, June 18 (Xinhua) -- Bangladesh's net foreign direct investment (FDI) surged over 39 percent year on year to 1.77 billion U.S. dollars in 2025, according to the latest central bank report.
Net FDI inflows stood at 1.27 billion dollars in 2024, the Bangladesh Bank (BB) said in the report, adding that investment had slowed in the second and third quarters of 2024 due to political instability.
Overall net inflows rose by 500.02 million dollars, or 39.36 percent, last year, driven primarily by higher reinvested earnings and intra-company loans, the bank said.
Among the major sectors, power attracted the highest investment at 448.18 million dollars, with the top 10 sectors absorbing 99.12 percent of total net inflows. ■
