Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Chittagong Chamber of Commerce and Industry have jointly formed Business Initiative Leading Development Trust. Presidents of the three chambers signed a Trust Deed to this end at the Westin Hotel in the city on Saturday, said a press release. Through the signing of the Trust Deed, BUILD is now an independent institution, further invigorated to continue its efforts as a research-backed public private dialogue platform.
BUILD, since its inception in October, 2011, has been working proactively with the private sector and government of Bangladesh to carry out research on policies, practices and regulations affecting businesses in Bangladesh with the objective of developing recommendations and advocating for their reform.
BUILD receives technical assistance from the Bangladesh Investment Climate Fund, which is managed by the International Finance Corporation in partnership with the UK Government and the European Union.
Representatives and dignitaries from partner organisations, including past presidents of DCCI and MCCI, directors of the three chambers, managing director of SME Foundation and chairman of BUILD were present on the occasion.
