Bangladesh is launching a mandatory Unique Business Identity (UBI) and digital ID system for e-commerce companies to limit fraud and increase transparency, in an effort to reinstate public trust in e-commerce following widespread fraud. A pilot project in Bangladesh aims to issue 22 million unique farmers’ IDs by 2028, to boost the efficiency of agricultural subsidies and services. This initiative is anticipated to streamline processes and expand access to resources for farmers. Additionally, a digital health card pilot has been launched, utilizing a unified biometric database to start unique digital profiles for patients. It is designed to replace traditional physical medical records, thus remodelling healthcare management and improving patient data accessibility.
