The government has set a new export target of $63.5 billion for the current financial year (FY26), aiming for 16.5 per cent growth over the income achieved in the previous fiscal year (FY25).
Commerce Adviser Sk Bashir Uddin made the announcement at a press conference at his secretariat office on Tuesday, expressing optimism that the target can be achieved by the end of the fiscal year.
Bashir said all existing factors had been taken into account in setting the new export target while unveiling the external trade plan, which has drawn mixed reactions from economists.
The export target for the 2024-25 fiscal year was $57.5 billion, while actual earnings stood at $55 billion.
The commerce adviser reiterated his belief that the new target is attainable.
Commerce Secretary, senior officials, and representatives from trade bodies were also present at the press conference.
