Project Description

The project is the regulatory-reforms component of the Bangladesh Investment Climate Fund program to institute more business-friendly policies, laws, and regulations, and to strengthen the institutions and civil servants who implement them. The objective is to reduce the number and costs of business regulation, institute an accessible electronic regulatory registry, enact a new competition law, and improve investment promotion and facilitation capacity—and to ensure that women benefit from the proposed interventions.
