The Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (Bida) is currently offering 112 services through its one-stop service (OSS) and plans to expand it to 150 within March this year. 

Lokman Hossain Miah, executive chairman of the state-run investment promotion agency, made the remarks in a meeting held at its conference hall in the capital's Agargaon, according to a press release. 

He also said that other countries give investment-related services quickly. He pointed out Vietnam which gives such services in 35 days, Indonesia in 48 days and India in 60 days.
