Bangladesh Enterprise Institute (BEI) Information

BEI promotes and articulates issues of importance to the private sector and seeks to influence policy and to initiate measures crucial to the development of a market-oriented economy as well as sustainable growth of trade, commerce and industry. BEI responds to the ever-growing demands of the business and industrial community in a rapidly changing world to address how the private sector in Bangladesh can best cope with and derive the maximum benefit from globalization. BEI recognizes the need for transparent and accountable corporate governance practices in all sectors to lay a solid foundation for the growth of capital markets, to attract foreign direct investment and to encourage indigenous investment. BEI lobbies for the integration of Bangladesh in the global market through unrestricted access for her manufactured goods, especially for ready-made garments in North America, Europe and Asia. To achieve these goals, BEI: - Organizes regular consultations, dialogues, seminars and workshops with stakeholders. - Conducts research, surveys and reviews on issues, which are considered to be of vital importance to the private sector. - Disseminates knowledge and information on trade, investment, corporate governance and related fields. - Formulates policy measures and identifies issues requiring policy intervention for its stakeholders.
