Bangladesh’s exports fell in August

Bangladesh's exports
fell 3 percent in August due to a decline in shipments of readymade garments,
the biggest export earner.
Last month, exporters shipped $3.92 billion worth of products, down from $4.03
billion a year ago, according to data released by the Export Promotion Bureau
(EPB).
The decline in export earnings comes
after the country's exports rose to $4.77 billion in July, up nearly 25 percent
from $3.82 billion a year earlier, marking the highest monthly earnings from
merchandise shipments since November 2022.
Overall
exports, however, grew nearly 11 percent year on year to $8.69 billion in the
first two months (July–August) of the fiscal year 2025–26.
While export performance in the opening months of the fiscal year indicates
resilience, the slowdown in August underlines the challenges facing
Bangladesh's export sector in the context of global demand fluctuations and
evolving market dynamics, said the EPB.
