Dhaka: Bangladesh Chamber of Industries (BCI) on Saturday urged all concerned to extend their cooperation to work towards removing uncertainties surrounding investment to protect the country’s industries.

‘The industries now are suffering from acute electricity and gas crises. Import of capital machineries reduced and the money remains idle in the banks due to uncertainty among investors,’ said BCI senior vice president Mostafa Azad Chowdhury Babu while chairing the BCI’s 30^th annual meeting.

BCI vice president Shamsur Rahman and its directors and members attended the annual meeting held at its chamber boardroom in the capital.

Azad Chowdhury said, ‘We all will have to play the due role to remove all sorts of barriers the local industries are now facing.’

He requested all concerned for both public and private sectors to extend all-out cooperation to protect interest of the industries.

The senior vice president briefed about the BCI activities conducted in 2015.
