Dhaka, Jan 11 (bdnews24.com) ? The Board of Investment says the DCCI president's comments on the foreign direct investment in the country are untrue and baseless.

The BoI on Wednesday issued a statement pointing out two of Asif Ibrahim's comments and stating that they were 'completely untrue, baseless, misleading and imaginary'.

The statement said that according to a news report published by Daily Amader Shomoy, the DCCI president had said, "There is no FDI in the country. Countries like Myanmar, Nepal have higher FDI."

"As a matter of fact, in 2010 Bangladesh received the second-highest ever FDI of $ 913 million," it added.

At the same time, the board added, Nepal and Myanmar had received $ 579 million in FDI.

"BoI would like to have a look at the source," the statement said, referring to Asif's remarks.

"Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industries is supposed to be a professional body," it said and added that the board expected DCCI to check figures and information before making public statements.
