Reform in Bangladesh's export-import policy is a must for establishing resilience and long-term competitiveness of the country to cope with the post-LDC situation.
The country should also diversify its export basket in a bid to achieve its desired economic goal, economist Selim Raihan said on Saturday.
The country's graduation to middle income from LDC is not the end, rather a pivot toward competitive, sustainable development, he added.
He made the observations while presenting a keynote paper at a seminar titled “Export-Import Policies in Bangladesh: Requirements & Challenges upon LDC Graduation” organised by the Dhaka Chamber of Commerce & Industry (DCCI) at Motijheel office in the capital.
Mr. Lutfey Siddiqi, special envoy on International Affairs to the Chief Adviser, attended the occasion as the chief guest.
Dr. Anisuzzaman Chowdhury, special assistant (state minister rank), Economic Relations Division, Ministry of Finance, GoB, Mr. Kazi Mostafizur Rahman, member (Customs), National Board of Revenue (NBR), and Mr. Md. Anwar Hossain, vice chairman, Export Promotion Bureau (EPB), were present as the special guests.
Dhaka Chamber President Mr. Taskeen Ahmed chaired the seminar.
