Abstract

This policy brief highlights the state of business competitiveness of Bangladesh in the context of the reduction in COVID transmission and the easing of restrictions, with the objective to understand the level of recovery in the business environment. The study team has collected information from 73 high officials of different-sized private companies located in Dhaka, Chattogram, Narayanganj, Gazipur and Faridpur. Businesses are still confronting structural challenges while new challenges are added as barriers to competitiveness. Corruption, weak and inefficient bureaucracy and lack of access to financing are the top three challenges.
