BNP plans to increase the foreign direct investment (FDI)/gross domestic product (GDP) target from 0.45 percent to 2.5 percent of GDP. BNP has set a GDP target of $1 trillion in 2034. BNP also wants to work on how to increase tax collection by removing the burden of additional taxes from the people's shoulders and removing the fear of taxes from people's minds.

In the post, he said, “BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman said three things in a congratulatory message on the occasion of the investment conference. These are: unity is the stepping stone to future national development, laws enacted to attract FDI by the government of martyred President Ziaur Rahman, and investment-friendly policies taken by the governments of national leader Khaleda Zia.”
