Facilitating Sustainable and Inclusive Growth
Quay Asia is committed to promoting sustainable growth in Bangladesh by fostering sound economic governance, advancing energy sustainability, and creating skills for employment.
We collaborate with the Government of Bangladesh to implement complex, multi-faceted technical assistance initiatives. We do this by building consensus and through effective communication and stakeholder engagement strategies.
Recognising that business drives economic growth, we support government to engage the private sector in developmental projects.
Through its membership of the British Business Group in Bangladesh, Quay Asia works with UK companies to offer operational insights, foster partnerships, and deliver project support services.

Learn MoreWhy Our Work is Important
Bangladesh faces a pivotal choice between long-term prosperity and potential economic stagnation. Quay Asia helps Bangladesh to face these challenges.
Business Ecosystem for Enterprise and Entrepreneurship
Businesses require reliable and predictable institutions including banks, tax regimes, monetary policy and foreign exchange regulations. This is equally important for foreign and domestic companies doing business in Bangladesh.
Labour Market and Employment
Bangladesh must continually balance employment rights and conditions with public investment in workforce education. The government must incentivise businesses to invest in developing their employees to meet both immediate business goals and serve the broader public interest.
Physical Infrastructure and Energy Supply
Physical infrastructure and energy supply are critical foundations for economic growth in Bangladesh. Bangladesh has made significant progress in expanding its road network and port capacity but poor maintenance and traffic congestion and remain significant challenges.
Human Capital and Education
Investment in human capital and education is a cornerstone of sustainable economic growth, particularly for emerging economies like Bangladesh. By enhancing the skills, knowledge, and productivity of the workforce, such investments enable individuals to contribute more effectively to economic activities and adapt to evolving market demands.
Climate and the Physical Environment
The relationship between economic growth, climate change adaptation, and the environment is especially pronounced in Bangladesh. Bangladesh is acutely vulnerable to environmental challenges. While striving for economic advancement, Bangladesh must adapt to rising sea levels, frequent floods, cyclones, and river erosion.
