Bangladesh has set an ambitious export target of $63.5 billion for FY26, projecting 16.5% growth over last year’s earnings.
Commerce Adviser Sk Bashir Uddin announced the target on Tuesday at a press conference in his secretariat office, expressing confidence that the goal is within reach. “We have considered all prevailing factors before finalising this year’s external trade plan,” he said, noting that the projection has drawn mixed reactions from economists.
In FY25, the government’s export target was $57.5 billion, but actual receipts reached $55 billion.
The adviser reaffirmed that the new target is realistic, citing coordinated efforts between the government and industry stakeholders. Commerce Secretary, senior ministry officials, and representatives from trade bodies were present during the announcement.
