With a view to providing exportoriented information for the businesses in Chittagong region, Export Promotion Bureau (EPB) will open a trade information centre here in the port city on February 14. The centre will be set up at Chittagong Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) building in Agrabad. EPB Vice Chairman Sahab Ullah announced this while exchanging views with the leaders of the CCCI at a meeting on February 8.

The EPB vice chairman urged the businesspeople of the region to be more active since he observed that Chittagong contributed only 20 percent to the total export despite being a hub of economic activities of the country. He also stressed on diversification of export items to boost export volume.
