After two months of sluggish growth, Bangladesh’s exports surged in March, driven by strong growth in the readymade garment (RMG) sector.

“Bangladesh’s export sector has demonstrated a commendable performance,” said the EPB

Most listed readymade garment (RMG) producers secured higher profits during the October-December period of this fiscal year, buoyed by global demand even amidst the myriad challenges plaguing Bangladesh’s overall business climate.

Skills gap, employer-employee trust deficit, rising operational cost are the major challenges

Authorities should take sensible steps to restore normalcy

Behind the scenes of ‘Made in Bangladesh’

Bangladesh is poised to overtake China in garment exports to Europe, the world’s largest market, anytime in the near future for work orders shifting its way and its price competitiveness.

As the global economy is threatened by recession, RMG makers will have to come up with strategies to deal.

Work orders to the garment sector in Bangladesh fell by more than 20 per cent for the September and November season as consumers in the western world are tightening their belts owing to blistering inflation and deepening uncertainty caused by the Russia-Ukraine war. 

The United States has said it wants to help Bangladesh diversify its private sector to partially move away from the ready-made garment (RMG) industry into other high-value areas, including the digital economy.
