What will it take for Bangladesh to become a $1 trillion economy by 2034?
In a recent opinion piece for The Daily Star, Banglalink CEO Johan Buse outlines how sustained economic growth will depend on bringing together investment, digital infrastructure, financial inclusion and skills development 🤝
He highlights that foreign direct investment is a catalyst for each of these priorities, a priority which VEON’s proposed “Invest in Bangladesh NOW” initiative aims to support, unlocking a potential up to $1 billion in investment focused on AI, digital banking, connectivity and youth skills, while helping attract further international investment into Bangladesh.

🏆 Our digital operator Kyivstar has been ranked among Ukraine's Top 3 Best Employers of 2026, while CHRO Oksana Oleynik has been recognised among the country's Top 5 HR Directors.
The ranking is published annually by TOP-100. Ratings of the Largest magazine and https://t.co/PwxmDbrjFr. Kyivstar has topped the list before as Ukraine's best employer.
The digital operator continues to invest in learning and development, wellbeing, mental health and safety, with most programmes also open to employees' family members. The team supports mobilised colleagues and veterans, helps young professionals launch their careers, and fosters a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion.
This recognition adds to a strong run of employer awards across VEON's operating companies, from Beeline Kazakhstan's Best Employer ranking by Paryz Bridge to Top Employer certifications for our teams in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan. Across our markets, investing in people and building inclusive, future-ready workplaces is how we grow and innovate.
👏 Congratulations to the entire @TwiyKyivstar team and to Oksana on this well-deserved individual recognition.
VEON Group CEO @Kaan_Terzioglu reflects on Uzbekistan's transformation over the past decade, a story he describes as a remarkable example of what vision and execution can achieve together. He credits President Shavkat Mirziyoyev's 2030 vision for a digital, liberalized and globally integrated economy, and the Ministry of Digital Technologies under Minister Sherzod Shermatov for turning that vision into reality.
From an investment climate built on predictable regulation and fair treatment of investors, to a startup ecosystem recently ranked first for growth, Kaan sees Uzbekistan as far more than an emerging market. He calls it a data producing country, one where national data stay in local data centers, is processed by Uzbek engineers, and becomes the foundation for authentic digital services and sovereign AI capabilities. He also advised Uzbekistan's youth to embrace augmented intelligence as the next 35 years will belong to those who learn to use it well.
As an international investor, VEON is proud to be part of Uzbekistan's growth story and to contribute to its digital future through Beeline Uzbekistan.
