Wirtschafts- und Branchenüberblick
Bangladesh is a South Asian frontier market with a nominal GDP of approximately $460 billion in FY2025-26, making it one of the largest economies among the least-developed countries (LDC) scheduled to graduate to developing-country status in November 2026. The economy is heavily anchored by the ready-made garment (RMG) sector, which accounts for over 84% of merchandise export earnings and employs millions, making Bangladesh the world's second-largest apparel exporter. The banking sector faces significant stress with non-performing loans reportedly above 32% of total loans as of 2024-25, while inflation has remained elevated above 9-10% through 2025-26. The Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) lists approximately 367 companies with a combined market capitalization of around $88 billion, dominated by telecoms, financials, pharmaceuticals, and energy firms. Foreign portfolio investors may access the DSE via a Non-Resident Investor's Taka Account (NITA) through authorized custodian banks, with no capital gains tax on individual equity profits.

Lokaler Brokerzugang
There are no US-based retail brokers that offer direct DSE trading. Foreign investors must open a NITA account with an authorised custodian bank in Bangladesh (HSBC, Standard Chartered, Citibank are commonly used), and a BO (Beneficiary Owner) account with a DSE-member broker such as Mika Securities, CAL Bangladesh, or Royal Capital Ltd. The process is paper-based and requires notarised identity documentation. Settlement is T+2. For passive exposure, the iShares FM ETF (if still active) or other frontier market funds may provide indirect Bangladesh exposure without the need for a local account.

Umzug & Aufenthalt
Investment-Visa / Residenzprogramm
Förderprogramme Temporary residency (renewable, path to PR at USD 200k)
Bangladesh offers an investor visa programme administered by the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA). Foreign nationals who invest a minimum of USD 100,000 in a Bangladeshi company (with at least USD 75,000 physically remitted through banking channels) are eligible to apply for an investor visa. The initial visa is granted for up to one year with single, double, or multiple entries, and can be extended for up to five years by the Department of Immigration and Passport. Permanent residency is available for investments of USD 200,000 or more, remaining valid as long as the investment is maintained. Foreign investors may pursue naturalisation after five years of continuous lawful residence. The programme is administered through BIDA's single-window service for investment clearances.

Zugang für ausländische Investoren
Foreign nationals may invest in Bangladeshi listed equities by opening a Non-Resident Investor's Taka Account (NITA) with an authorised custodian bank (such as HSBC, Standard Chartered, or Citibank Bangladesh). A Beneficiary Owner (BO) account must then be opened with a licensed brokerage house and linked to the NITA. Foreign currency is remitted into the NITA, converted to taka, and used to purchase DSE-listed shares; sale proceeds may be freely remitted abroad from the NITA. There is no capital gains tax on equity investments by individual investors. Trading commissions are capped at a maximum of 0.50% of trade value. Foreign ownership is generally permitted in listed equities, though some sectors (defence, certain utilities) may have restrictions. Foreign direct investment is permitted across most sectors, with BIDA providing the regulatory clearance pathway.
