Bangladesh’s exports rose 7.81 per cent year-on-year to $4.63 billion in February, backed by buoyant garment shipments.

Monthly exports, however, fell below $5.0 billion after crossing the mark for the first time in November 2022, as per a bdnews24.com report.

February exports also missed the target by 3.68 per cent, according to the latest data published by the Export Promotion Bureau on Thursday.

The exports in the July-February period increased by 9.56 per cent to $37.07 billion from a year earlier.

Although the demand for clothing in the West fell due to the Russia-Ukraine war, garment exports grew as exporters said they built the capacity to manufacture high-end products.
