Bangladesh should not respond to the US reciprocal tariff move with a knee-jerk reaction rather view it as an opportunity.
Dr. Debapriya Bhattacharya said this at a seminar in Dhaka on Saturday.
Jointly organised by the Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) and Business Initiative Leading Development (BUILD), Dr. Bhattacharya said that as the US focusses on China and Vietnam, Bangladesh has a window of opportunity—particularly in the garments sector.
He also said that beyond readymade garments, Bangladesh could tap into export opportunities in the leather and pharmaceutical sectors to strengthen its trade relationship with the US.
Commerce Secretary Mahbubur Rahman and International Chamber of Commerce Bangladesh (ICC Bangladesh) President Mahbubur Rahman spoke at the seminar as special guests.
