Experts for immediate implementation of National Logistics PolicyDHAKA, Feb 4, 2026 (BSS) – Business leaders and experts today called for the urgent ratification and implementation of the National Logistics Policy (NLP) 2025 to enhance trade competitiveness and support Bangladesh's goal of reaching a US$ 760 billion GDP by 2030. Highlighting the economic impact of the sector, Dr. M. Masrur Reaz, Chairman of Policy Exchange Bangladesh, noted that a mere 1% reduction in logistics costs could increase national exports by approximately 7%. He pointed out critical structural risks, including a heavy 70% reliance on the Dhaka–Chattogram corridor and the absence of a central logistics authority. Regarding air logistics, Mahbubul Anam, Managing Director of CF Global, revealed that logistics costs at Dhaka airport are 20–25% higher than road transport. Participants at the discussion emphasized moving decisively from policy intent to implementation.
