Bangabandhu tunnel is South Asia’s first underwater expressway tunnel and a new era in communication in Bangladesh. The tunnel enhances connectivity while keeping the Karnaphuli river free of any bridge structure, linking the Asian Highway, Ramgargh land port, and Matarbari Deep Sea Port. This project is expected to catalyse increased local and foreign investment in Chattogram’s southeastern region, enabling transit of goods among neighbouring countries like India, Nepal, and Myanmar. Around 100 companies have acquired real estate near the tunnel with some of them constructing factories and others are planning to take up projects reshaping South Chattogram. Big names like Akij Group, Four H Group, Diamond Cement, S Alam Group, and Partex Group have secured real estate for new factories in Karnaphuli and Anwara upazilas. The Unitex Group is investing Tk400 crore in a chemical factory expected to create 500 jobs. Nearby, China is developing a vast 784-acre economic zone, and the Saad Musa group is establishing private economic zones about half a kilometre from that location.
Oil slipped more than 1 percent on Monday as concern eased about the Israel-Hamas war affecting supply from the region and as investors adopted caution ahead of this week’s U.S. Federal Reserve meeting and other indications of global economic health. Crude had jumped 3 percent on Friday after Israel stepped up ground incursions into Gaza, stoking worries the conflict could expand in a region that accounts for a third of global oil output. However, that concern was fading on Monday. Brent crude futures dropped 95 cents, or 1.1 percent, to $89.53 a barrel by 1217 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was down $1.12, or 1.3 percent, at $84.42.
