Dhaka, Oct. 13 -- Foreign investment in Bangladesh rose by 11 percent year-on-year to $303 million in the April-June quarter of the 2024-25 fiscal year, powered by a sharp spike in reinvested earnings by existing investors as the flow of equity capital dipped.
However, net equity (new investment) dropped to $81 million in the June quarter from $214 million in the same period last year, marking a 62per cent decline, according to the latest data from the Bangladesh Bank (BB).
In contrast, net reinvested earnings rose to $168 million in the June quarter, compared to a deficit of $33 million in the same period a year ago.
Intra-company loans amounted to $53 million this quarter, down from $92 million in the previous one.
