A STRATEGIC PLAYBOOK FOR FUTURE JAPANESE FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT IN BANGLADESH’S READYMADE GARMENTS INDUSTRY

In this Good to Great Podcast episode, hosts Yume Towhida and Masrur Rahman are joined by Tareq Rafi Bhuiyan (Jun), Managing Director of New Vision Solutions Limited and President of the Japan-Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce and Industry, to examine the future of Japanese foreign direct investment in Bangladesh’s ready-made garments industry.

Drawing on nearly two decades of experience working with Japanese investors, Jun shares an insider’s perspective on how Japanese manufacturing philosophy, long-term partnership models, and discipline-driven productivity systems could shape Bangladesh’s next growth phase.

The conversation explores what might trigger Japanese investment at scale, why joint ventures and minority stakes often come before acquisitions, and how know-how transfer can elevate skills, quality, sustainability, and global credibility across the apparel ecosystem.

A must-listen for policymakers, industry leaders, and anyone interested in the evolving dynamics of Japan–Bangladesh collaboration in the global RMG landscape.
