Khasru says BNP will replicate RMG model in other export sectors if elected

BNP standing committee member Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury has said they will replicate the successful RMG model in other export-oriented industries if they come to power.

Speaking at the 4th Bangladesh Economic Conference on Saturday, he said they will open facilities such as bonded warehouses and back-to-back LC (letters of credit) facilities for potential export sectors.

“We want to create more export-earning sectors like RMG in the coming days, and it will be included in our election manifesto,” he added.

Khasru said they aim to create 10 million jobs in the first 18 months of their government if voted to power.

“It requires funding, and we have chalked out a plan for where the money will come from,” the BNP leader said.

“We don’t want to put more pressure on banks, which are already under strain. We plan to revitalise the capital and bond markets for long-term investment,” he added.
