This year’s BGBS is scheduled for November 21 and 22, culminating in a closing ceremony at the Dhanadhanya theater in Alipore, a suburb of Kolkata.
Political Measures
CM Banerjee’s chief adviser Amit Mitra had earlier said that the West Bengal government would announce several policy measures at a summit in November to attract investments.
“Several policies are in the process, which you will hear about at the Bengal Global Trade Summit,” Mitra said at a presser. Mitra said the government is working on several interesting policies.
“The cabinet has passed some of them and we hope all these will accumulate,” Mitra said adding that these will promote investments in the state.
Mitra said the state government followed a policy of boosting consumption, which in turn created demand for businesses to invest.
West Bengal government is organizing a two-day global business summit from November 21 in Kolkata. The state government and Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) on Wednesday held a roadshow with business stakeholders in the capital.
