Prime Bank Investment PLC and the Korea Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce and Industry have entered into a strategic partnership to advance capital market access for KBCCI members, facilitate potential Korean investment inflows into Bangladesh, and promote structured financial solutions for the Bangladeshi diaspora living in Korea.
The memorandum of understanding was signed at the KBCCI office on 3 May.
KBCCI President Shahab Uddin Khan, Secretary General Million Park, Director Chaitanaya Kumar Dey Chayan, and Prime Bank Investment Managing Director and CEO Syed M Omar Tayub, along with senior officials from both organisations, were present at the signing ceremony.
Under the partnership, Prime Bank Investment will offer KBCCI members a range of investment banking and capital market solutions, including advisory services, capital raising support, portfolio management services and PrimeInvest discretionary product suites on preferential terms.
Both organisations will also jointly explore opportunities to attract Korean foreign direct investment to Bangladesh across priority sectors.
The scope of the partnership will also cover key policy perspectives, investment climate challenges and market development priorities, with a shared focus on improving investor confidence, strengthening market accessibility and fostering sustainable economic growth through enhanced private sector collaboration.
“This collaboration reflects PBIL’s commitment to facilitating strategic investments and delivering innovative financial solutions for both institutional and individual investors. We believe this partnership will strengthen Korea-Bangladesh investment connectivity and create new avenues for foreign investment and diaspora engagement,” said Syed M Omar Tayub.
“Bangladesh offers strong long-term potential for Korean investors as the country continues to expand its industrial and economic capabilities. Through this partnership with PBIL, we aim to establish a more effective platform to connect Korean investors and KBCCI members with Bangladesh’s capital market and investment ecosystem,” said Shahab Uddin Khan.
The partnership is expected to contribute to stronger bilateral investment cooperation and further development of Bangladesh’s capital market landscape.
