DHAKA: The flow of investment did not meet the expectation after January 5 election, 2014 - says a Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD) report.

The civil society think-tank made the review public Saturday noon at a press conference titled ‘2014-15 Interim Assessment of Bangladesh Economics’ held at the CIRDAP auditorium in city’s Topkhana area.

According to the CPD observation, the index of investment could not reach its goal due to insufficient gas and electricity supply, lack of infrastructure and land facilities along with political uncertainty.

“In this circumstance, it is not possible to meet the growth target,” the report added. “The country has met only 25 percent of its expected investment.”

However, the organization has also urged for more investment to overcome the situation.
