A new study has identified Sherpur in Maulvibazar and Mirershorai and Anwara in Chittagong as potential locations for economic zones to be built at an estimated cost of $1.17 billion by investors. The study, commissioned by Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority, advised the government to roll out the Sherpur Economic Zone first as required infrastructure—power, water and gas—is in place, reports the Daily Star. “So, it has the potential to attract investors,” Shoichi Kobayashi, team leader of the economic zones project, said at the unveiling of the final draft of the study.
