 Imports by Export Processing Zone (EPZ):
In order to achieve rapid economic growth of the country by increasing the inflow of foreign investment,
particularly through industrialisation, special steps have been taken since 1980 by setting up Export
Processing Zone (EPZ) in the country in Chittagong (Halishahar), Dhaka (Savar) and Khulna (Mongla)
where favourable facilities/ assistance are provided to the potential investors, both Bangladeshi and
foreigners. The Chittagong Export Processing Zone (CEPZ) started from 1983-84 while the Dhaka Export
Processing Zone (DEPZ) started from 1993-94. Later, EPZs have also been established in Mongla of
Khulna, Ishurdi of Pabna, Comilla, Uttara of Syedpur in the district of Nilphamary, Adamjee of
Narayanganj and Karnaphuli of Chittagong where the investments are classified into three types i.e., A-
type (100% foreign investment), B-type (Joint venture investment between Bangladeshi and foreigners)
and C-type (100% Bangladeshi entrprenuer's investment).

At the end of June, 2019 type-wise number of functioning enterprises in EPZ area are shown in Table-VI.
