Corruption has again become the main problem among 17 ones that are hampering doing business in Bangladesh in the just-concluded year.
Around 67.6 per cent of respondents among 71 business executives complained about a high level of corruption in a survey conducted by the Centre for Policy Dialogue, an independent think tank in the country.
While releasing the survey titled ‘the Bangladesh Business Environment 2023’ in the capital on Wednesday, CPD research director Khondaker Golam Moazzem said the prevalence of corruption had intensified in the just-concluded year.
Around 64.6 per cent of respondents identified corruption as the main problem in the survey conducted in the past year by CPD in partnership with the World Economic Forum of Switzerland.
Inefficient government bureaucracy (54.9 per cent of respondents) and foreign currency instability (46.5 per cent of respondents) are the two other most problematic factors, according to the survey.
