Deception with investors by BEZA
Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority (BEZA) was established with the promise of providing all necessary facilities to investors to ease the process of setting up factories and conducting business. To fulfill this goal, BEZA initiated the creation of special economic zones and economic zones under a project launched in 2010. Despite the assurance of offering 125 types of services under a one-stop service system—such as land acquisition, land mutation, environmental clearance, construction approval, and utility connections like electricity, gas, and water—only 20 types of services are available in practice. Investors still face significant harassment at every step to obtain these services.
