Mergers, Acquisitions and Due Diligence in Bangladesh
Mergers and acquisitions in Bangladesh are governed primarily by the Companies Act, 1994, the Competition Act, 2012, and (for financial sector transactions) regulatory frameworks administered by Bangladesh Bank and the BSEC. Cross-border M&A transactions additionally require Bangladesh Bank and BIDA approvals for equity transfers involving foreign parties.
