The Bangladeshi companies and organisations have got Tk 1200 crore spot order and booking from the recently concluded Bangladesh single country trade fair in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The organiser of the fair, Bangladesh Business Community, announced the data. Banks, insurance companies, real estate companies, pharmaceutical companies, electrical cable manufacturers and food product companies took part in the fair.
However, the Bangladeshi companies could not sign any memorandum of understanding (MoU) with any Saudi entrepreneur for investment, as there is no bilateral trade agreement in government level.
The fair was held from May 24 to 27 this year at Riyadh Palace Hotel and 46 Bangladeshi companies and organizations participated in the fair.
Enayet Karim, the chief coordinator of the fair, said they are going to organise a similar fair in September in Jeddah.
