A German business delegation visited Bangladesh to explore expanding trade relations, participating in the Bangladesh Investment Summit 2025. The group included officials from the German Foreign Ministry, Economy Ministry, as well as export credit and development agencies. Their goal was to assess Bangladesh's economic climate and reform policies, which are seen as promising for prospective investments.

Bangladesh's resilience as an emerging market is impressive, and the presented macroeconomic figures and input factors important for prospective investors look very promising.
The aim of the trip was to learn, collect information, establish contacts, and engage with leading figures of the interim government to provide German companies with an updated picture of the investment climate.
Germany is the second-biggest export market for Bangladesh, with textiles accounting for more than 90% of Bangladeshi exports to the EU nation.
