The Bangladesh-Malaysia Chamber of Commerce and Industry will organise a trade fair in Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur, highlighting the Bangladeshi banks and money exchanges to attract the Bangladeshi expatriates working there.
Second Showcase Bangladesh 2012, as the show is titled, will be held in July 13-15, said BMCCI officials at a press briefing at the National Press Club in Dhaka on Sunday.
Mentioning that the remittance sent to Bangladesh has currently exceeded $1 billion, they said the government and the financial institutions as well have mulled efforts to increase its flow.
The show will have 70 stalls from nearly 60 Bangladeshi business houses and financial institutions including banks, readymade garments and knitwear companies, ceramics and leather products manufacturers, handicrafts and food producers and tourism promoters.
The exhibition will also focus on the Malaysian investor attracting investment in Bangladesh’s tourism and hospitality sector.
