Dhaka, December 13 :

Awami League chief Sheikh Hasina is seeking to placate the business community in the run up to Bangladesh’s general elections.

Sheikh Hasina has been promising to make up for losses caused by the current agitation that has disrupted business across the country.

At a meeting with the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) Tuesday, she also promised to keep prices under check, a better role for private enterprises, better governance than her political rival Khaleda Zia and development of ports and highways, crucial to the economic development of one of the world’s least developed countries.
