Bangladesh has introduced a new three-year export policy (2024-2027) aiming to double its annual export earnings to $110 billion by 2027. The policy includes new priority sectors such as handicrafts, vegetables, and a focus on developing the services sector, with textile fabrics and spinning designated for special development.
At a meeting chaired by Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus, the interim government’s council approved the policy and discussed ongoing unrest in the ready-made garment (RMG) sector. Dr. Yunus urged authorities to find a lasting solution to the labor issues, expecting the situation to normalize soon.
In other matters, a high-level committee was formed to investigate allegations of corruption against Public Administration Secretary Md Mokhlesur Rahman, amid reports of bribe-taking for appointments. Chief Adviser Yunus emphasized the need for thorough investigation, particularly given the potential influence of AI in circulating fake news. He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to press freedom and its openness to criticism while urging media responsibility to curb the spread of misinformation.
