Foreign investors are free to make investments in Bangladesh in the industrial enterprises except for a few reserved sectors.

An industrial venture may be set up in collaboration with local investors or may even be wholly owned by the foreign investors. Similarly, there is no restriction under the Foreign Exchange Regulations Act on the import of securities into Bangladesh. However, no securities can be exported or taken out of Bangladesh without general or special permission from Bangladesh Bank (the central bank).

Here are the foreign exchange regulations regarding foreign direct and portfolio investment issued by Bangladesh Bank.
