Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) plays a vital role for the economic development and an important determinant of the economic growth and development of Bangladesh. This paper is analyzed in the form of trends of FDI inflows, sources of FDI in Bangladesh along with Country Share and Ranks, status of FDI inflows as compared to SAARC Countries, major attracting determinants and some suggestions regarding issue. The analysis is mainly based on yearly variations and changes in growth of FDI inflows. Data have been presented in tabular form to facilitate numerical examinations and graphical representations. FDI has emerged as the most important source of external resource flow for developing countries over the 1990s and has become a significant part of capital formation in the country despite their share in global distribution of FDI continuing to remain small or even declining. The trends of FDI show that during 1980-2006, Bangladesh received a meager amount of FDI. However, the flow of FDI increased in the later years but not significantly. But, recent trends of FDI in Bangladesh could be regarded as very insignificant compared to SAARC Countries. Due to the friendly investment policy measures taken by the present GOB, foreign investors are showing their interest to invest in Bangladesh and the country holds better prospects for significant FDI inflows in the coming years.

A healthy financial sector is very much crucial for economic growth, specially for economies like Bangladesh. Because growth in Bangladesh must come largely from exports and its enterprises must, therefor, be internationally competitive. But unfortunately, Bangladesh has a financial system in which borrowers fails to repay loans, foreclosure is almost unheard of, and the government has to bail out banks. However, the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) the most powerful weapon for accelerating economic development in Bangladesh. To attain an economic growth rate in the seven to eight percent range, investment has to be increased significantly, because of declining level of official development assistance in recent years and inadequate domestic savings, FDI presents opportunities for overcoming domestic resource constrains. The Board of Investment (BOI) was created as market mechanism where investors can cut through red-tap associated with foreign trade and business start-ups. FDI basically helps to fill-up the capital gap and shortage of a country. Foreign Direct Investment is one of the vital forces to boost up the economy. In this study paper we would like to draw a current scenario of Foreign Direct Investment in Bangladesh. In this regard we present the most updated data, avoid the uncompleted data and use the best judgment at the time of presenting the data to better knowing the current trend about the Foreign Direct Investment in Bangladesh. The benefits of FDI in-terms of physical capital formation, transfer of technology, and know-how are sufficient to justify sustaining these flows. Capital controls are not the answer to a rising flow of FDI. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) will help the country in further developing infrastructure, creating more employment, developing capacity, enhancing the skills of labour force of the host country through transferring technological knowledge and managerial capability. To ensure that resulting payments liabilities remain within the country's debt-serving capacity, it essential to develop an effective non-intrusive reporting and monitoring system the main ingredients of which are presented in the study.

This study analyzes the impact of some selective macroeconomic factors on FDI as it plays a vital role in any country’s economy. In this study, based on previous literature, we have selected GDP, inflation rate, interest rate and corporate income tax as determinants. We investigate empirically the impact of those macroeconomic variables on FDI. Annual time series data has been collected from three global and local sources for analysis. Total 29 observations from 1987 to 2015 for each variable have been analyzed to show the effect of the independent variables using regression model. Overall, the model was found to have significant predictability over FDI. The empirical result also revealed significant impact of GDP and corporate income tax on FD individually, while inflation and interest rate were found statistically insignificant. The descriptive statistics and correlation coefficients matrix also observed to investigate the relationship among the dependent and selective independent variables. FDI helps to upgrade the socio- eonomic condition of the country and hence, to compete in a competitive world, investment friendly policy adoption, enhanced infrastructure and improvement of overall investment climate are essential for Bangladesh to ensure the growth of FDI journey and ultimately foster the economic development journey.
