In a landmark move to link global capital with Bangladesh's growing investment opportunities, Prime Bank Investment PLC (PBIL), a leading investment bank and wholly owned subsidiary of Prime Bank PLC, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Lixia Capsia Gestionis LLC (LixCap), a Delaware-based firm specialising in economic research and transaction advisory for emerging markets.
The agreement, signed virtually on 7 October 2025, aims to catalyse cross-border investment, foster innovation in sustainable finance, and strengthen key sectors including renewable energy, agribusiness, and SMEs in Bangladesh.
PBIL provides a full spectrum of investment banking services across equity and debt markets, advisory, and portfolio management, supported by an experienced team and advanced digital infrastructure. LixCap, which has mobilised over $750 million in private capital globally, brings expertise in blended finance, agribusiness, renewable energy, and impact-oriented entrepreneurship — making it a strategic global partner for advancing Bangladesh's development priorities.
Under the MoU, both organisations will collaborate to:
Co-structure high-impact transactions and attract international capital;
Develop sector-specific funds for agriculture, renewables, logistics, and growth industries;
Design blended finance and risk-mitigation instruments with DFIs, multilaterals, and donors;
Advise on ESG-aligned frameworks, sustainability, and green bonds; and
Deliver capacity-building programmes and policy insights to regulators and industry leaders.
The signing ceremony was attended by Syed M Omar Tayub, Managing Director and CEO of PBIL, and William C Fellows, Managing Director of LixCap, along with senior representatives from both sides.
"By aligning PBIL's deep knowledge of Bangladesh's investment landscape with LixCap's global reach, we are positioned to accelerate sustainable projects that drive inclusive growth and resilience," said Syed M Omar Tayub, MD & CEO of PBIL.
William C Fellows, MD of LixCap, added, "Bangladesh's economy presents a vibrant and compelling opportunity for international capital. Our partnership with PBIL creates a trusted channel for directing investment into high-potential green and sustainable ventures."
Through this partnership, PBIL and LixCap aim to mobilise resources for sectors critical to Bangladesh's economic future — promoting entrepreneurship, sustainability, and environmental stewardship. As Bangladesh advances toward sustainable industrialisation and climate resilience, the collaboration sets a new benchmark for cross-border investment that integrates local insight with global innovation.
