Bangladesh has launched a strategic initiative to transform its economy into a trillion-dollar entity by 2034. The government is pursuing a development model focused on recovery, restoration, and reconstruction, with key priorities including industrial diversification, technological advancement, and increased public spending on healthcare and education.

He urged engineers, scientists, and entrepreneurs to facilitate technology transfer, establish research partnerships, and connect local startups with international capital.

To bolster economic growth, Bangladesh Bank is also implementing various stimulus packages, including credit facilities for SMEs, green industrialization, and the agricultural sector.
