Tiivistelmä
Foreign direct investment (FDI) is a potent weapon of economic development, especially in the current global context, which enables a capital-poor country like Bangladesh to help integrate its domestic economy with the global economy. The purpose of this thesis is to show the contribution of FDI in the Bangladeshi garments and textiles sector and in the economic development of Bangladesh so as to know whether the call for more FDI is truly justified. The thesis attempts to identify the prospects of the Bangladeshi ready-made garments (RMG) industry by analyzing its current scenario, strengths and weaknesses, and potential competitiveness in the world market.
