FBCCI urges single-digit lending rates, expansion of export fund

Bangladesh should seize the opportunity of its current warm relations with the United States to sign bilateral trade deals, said Md Hafizur Rahman, administrator of the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI).

“The US is one of Bangladesh’s largest garment export markets, and the benefit of lower tariffs should be fully utilized,” Rahman said during a meeting with Paul G Frost, commercial counsellor at the US embassy in Dhaka, at the FBCCI office.

He thanked the Trump administration for easing reciprocal tariffs for Bangladesh and stressed the importance of converting the trade momentum into long-term agreements.

During the meeting, Frost encouraged Bangladeshi businesses to strengthen bilateral networks and expand trade links with their US counterparts, assuring continued US support to deepen economic cooperation.
