Bangladesh's relationship with Germany has been very good since the beginning, the President of Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce and Industry Barrister Omar Sadat told the trader, "From a business standpoint, Germany is one of the largest trading partner of Bangladesh. Every year there is a large export of Bangladesh from Bangladesh. Since independence, German companies have been doing business in Bangladesh. There are also institutions, whose main business is in Bangladesh. As a result, it is not unusual to grow their business. They do a very clean business. After the Siemens bribery scandal, the business was somewhat slow. But since 2008, German companies have been doing good business in almost every sector of public and private sectors.

The German-based Siemens uses controversy as a medium to get government work, and it is controversial in many countries of the world including Bangladesh. In view of this, the company's business activities are banned in many countries. But Siemens returned to business for a few years after bribing corruption and corruption in Bangladesh.
