Bangladesh’s merchandise exports increase 8.54% in September
Bangladesh’s merchandise exports rose 8.54 percent year-on-year to $3.93 billion in September, driven by a gradual recovery in garment shipments.
However, export earnings in September were 11.11 percent lower than those recorded in August, according to data released by the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB) today.
Between July and September, the country’s exports increased 6.34 percent year-on-year to $13.09 billion.
The EPB said Bangladesh’s merchandise exports continued to show resilience and competitiveness in the global market.
The readymade garment (RMG) sector, the country’s main export industry, retained its leading position while recording encouraging growth.
During the first six months of the 2026-27 fiscal year, garment exports rose 6.10 percent year-on-year to $10.57 billion.
In September alone, apparel exports increased 8.56 percent year-on-year to $3.08 billion.
