The ICAB president Nesaruddin said fiscal and other incentives, including repatriation of capital and profit, are available for foreign investors. Bangladesh is also in a suitable position to supply skilled manpower and ready to undertake high-tech industries. This is high time to invest in Bangladesh, he added.
