Bangladesh keen on business with Myanmar: GM Quader
Faruk Khan proposes parliamentary panel to remove trade barriers
Bangladesh is keen to do business with Myanmar in a win-win situation for the both next-door neighbours, Commerce Minister GM Quader said yesterday.
He said connectivity by air, sea and land is the key to giving a boost to bilateral trade.
“I hope all trade barriers with Myanmar will be removed soon. Bangladesh as a close neighbour will enjoy better trade privileges than other countries,” Quader told a seminar at Ruposhi Bangla Hotel in Dhaka.
The minister also said problems related to the payment mechanism would be resolved as Sonali Bank and the central bank of Myanmar have signed a deal on currency exchange.
Bangladesh Myanmar Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BMCCI) arranged the seminar, 'Doing Business between Bangladesh and Myanmar and Mechanism for Settling Payments' where its honorary adviser Karar Mahmudul Hasan presented a keynote paper.
Civil Aviation and Tourism Minister Faruk Khan hoped that three ways of communication -- air, sea and land -- with Myanmar would soon be made functional which would help strengthen bilateral trade.
“All formalities have been done regarding the air route. A final deal will be signed in this regard next month when Myanmar's president will be here,” Khan said adding that the river route would also be made operational soon.
“Things are moving fast at the highest government-level. The businesspeople should work faster at the business-level,” Khan said.
He proposed the formation of a parliamentary panel with representatives from the two countries to resolve all trade barriers and make the trade relations more vibrant.
BMCCI President KB Ahmed said Bangladesh and Myanmar are uniquely positioned to become strategic partners in developing their economies with a focus on agriculture, rural development and wealth creation more on equitable social balance.
U Yan Win, a member of Myanmar parliament, Sein Maung, chairman of First Private Bank of Myanmar, and Maung Maung Soe, a professor at Yangon Institute of Economics, also spoke.

Pipeline

...Introduction Currently, the share of railways in carrying this load is around 70 per cent, followed by 25 per cent for pipelines and 5 per cent for roads. Railways and roads are inefficient modes of carrying petroleum products because they consume significantly more energy (320 BTU for railways and 1700 BTU for roads to move one tonne of petroleum products over one km) than pipelines for which the comparable figure is only 50-135 BTU. Clearly, pipeline transportation is the most efficient way of moving petroleum products and gases and, hence, is the preferred mode all over the world. In developed countries like the USA and the UK, almost all long distance transportation of petroleum products and gas takes place through pipelines. India is far behind these countries in realizing the full potential of pipelines because it does not have a well-developed pipeline network. A rapid development of pipelines, therefore, is essential to ensure that the share of this mode in the transportation of petroleum products and natural gas reaches the desired level. It is estimated that around Rs 30,000 crore are likely to be invested over the next 10-12 years in setting up pipeline networks for liquid petroleum products The efficient and effective movement of natural gas from producing regions to consumption regions requires an extensive and elaborate transportation system. In many instances, natural gas produced from a particular well will have to travel a great distance to reach its point...

...Level 41 Suite A Menara Maxis KLCC, 50088 Kuala Lumpur Malaysia Tel: 603.2055.1888 fax: 603.2161.2919 MEMORANDUM MINIMUM WAGES AND FOREIGN WORKERS IN MALAYSIA Introduction The Malaysian economy provides employment to a significant number of foreign workers from neighboring countries including those from Indonesia, Bangladesh, Philippines and Myanmar. In recent times, there have been calls from certain quarters for the increase of wages of foreign workers such that they are on par with wages offered to local workers. It is said that in the long term, this will help to ensure that the wages of foreign workers do not result in lower wages for local workers. While most sectors of the economy, including the manufacturing industry, readily acknowledge the contribution of foreign workers to the Malaysian economy and wealth creation, there have been some concerns about the effects of the proposed wage increase. The fundamental obligation of an employer is to pay the agreed wages in return for work performed. This obligation is dependent upon the employee being ready, willing and able to perform the work at hand. Generally, the quantum of wages are agreed between employers and the individual employees. An appropriate wage is intended to attract qualified employees to perform the work required, to motivate employees to perform at a consistently high level, to encourage them to improve their skills, abilities and knowledge in order to improve job performance and for the long term...

Its growth affects not only the activities directly linked to tourism but also other sectors. Tourism is already an important sector in some developing countries and will become so for others. Developing countries have been fast growing in tourism industry terms in the world over the last decade. Tourism is one of the most important sectors in a large number of developing countries. Increases in economic growth, disposable income and leisure time, political stability, and aggressive tourism campaigns, among others factors, have fuelled the significant growth of tourism. Developing countries have some common characteristics, such as extreme poverty and widespread conflict (including civil war and ethnic clashes), extensive political corruption, lack of political and social stability, human resource weakness (human assets index, nutrition, health, education and adult literacy), and economic vulnerability. Bangladesh is a developing country in Asia, holding high potentiality for tourism. Bangladesh Parjatan Corporation (BPC) plays an important role for the development of tourism.
