FDI inflows in Bangladesh have been increasing at a faster rate for the past few years. This paper examines the impact of FDI on the county’s export, employment
generation, and gross domestic product (GDP). This paper found FDI has a positive relationship with the export sector while incoming FDI has not any positive effect on
employment generation. It has also been observed that local private investment has a greater impact on the GDP growth of the Bangladeshi economy than FDI. There is
also inequality between sectors in terms of FDI inflows. The manufacturing and power sector attracting higher FDI whereas agriculture, services, trade and commerce are
neglected. It is important to mention that barriers such as weak infrastructure, low skilled labour force and labour unrest, social and political instability discourage foreign
investors from investing in the country. So, it is time to pay attention to these problems and search for remedies to attain a higher level of FDI.
