Bangladesh Bank Governor Atiur Rahman on Sunday said projects under the Public-Private Partnership method can be a major source of large-scale investments needed for the country’s infrastructural development.

“It is well recognised that lack of physical infrastructure is a major constraint to economic growth in Bangladesh and other developing nations,” Atiur Rahman said while addressing a workshop held at a city hotel.

The workshop titled ‘Challenges and Prospect of PPP Project Development’, was organised by the World Bank-supported Infrastructure Project Financing Facility (IPFF) in collaboration with the Infrastructure Investment Facilitation Center (IIFC).

Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister Sheikh M Wahid-Uz Zaman attended the inaugural session of the workshop as the chief guest.
