Remittance saves Bangladesh's economy after July uprising: CA
Lauding the role of non-resident Bangladeshis, Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus yesterday said the remittance of Bangladeshi expatriates saved the country's economy after the July uprising.
"Our economy was at bottom level. Your remittance saved it. Your remittances were behind strengthening our economy," he told an event in New York, USA.
The event titled "NRB Connect Day: Empowering Global Bangladeshis" was held at New York Marriott Marquis (1535 Broadway), Manhattan, where non-resident Bangladeshis were present.
Speaking on the occasion, Prof Yunus said he is personally very hopeful of Bangladesh.
Highlighting the potential of Bangladesh's young people, he said Bangladesh has enough young manpower.
The Chief Adviser asked foreign firms to relocate their factories in Bangladesh to utilise these young human resources and consider Bangladesh a production hub.
Noting the NRBs are now part of Bangladesh, the head of the interim government urged them to come up with their investment and idea in Bangladesh with confidence.
He assured the NBRs that their voting rights would be ensured in the next general elections.
