How Mega-Infrastructure
Projects Will Power
Bangladesh’s Economic Growth
Bangladesh is focused on infrastructure to attract investment and supercharge economic growth. With megaprojects set to improve transport, shipping, communication and energy, the stage is set for a bright future.
Spanning more than six kilometers (3.7 miles) and linking the southwest of the country to the north and east, the Padma Multipurpose Bridge is a symbol of how far Bangladesh has come as a nation and of its ambition for the future.
The double-decker steel structure, which is due to open this year, was built to withstand monsoons, flooding and earthquakes. It will carry rail and road vehicles over the Padma River, as well as utilities including gas pipes and telecommunication lines, opening avenues for trade and boosting economic growth.

Connectivity
Bangladesh Vision 2041, a national strategic plan to accelerate the country’s socio-economic growth, cites stronger and better-quality infrastructure as a core need, seeing opportunities for significant investment in areas like ports, roads and transportation, where Bangladesh lags other similar-stage Asian economies.
To fuel the country’s rapid economic growth, Bangladesh is transforming its infrastructure through mega projects spanning new ports, rail links and bridges. The Asian Development Bank notes that increasing capital flows is critical to improving the competitiveness of domestic industries and overall economic efficiency – and Bangladesh is doing just that.
Bangladesh’s
commitment to building
world-class infrastructure will accelerate trade and spur new markets.
The government is addressing the need for quality infrastructure, in particular transport infrastructure, with sustained investments and public-private partnerships that will help fill funding needs of around $10 billion a year. Key projects will boost trade, industry, transport and energy capacity, fueling Bangladesh’s rise to high-income status.
