Garment factories reopen, no restrictions on workers’ movement
Leaders from the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturing and Exporters Association, an association of factory owners, met with Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan on Tuesday night before deciding to open factories. The government imposed a curfew from midnight on Friday amid widespread and intense violence surrounding the quota protests. On Monday, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina met with exporters and called on them to reopen factories. BGMEA President SM Mannan, members of the BGMEA board, BKMEA leaders and other leaders in the garment sector took part in the meeting with the home minister. The home minister also ordered law enforcers and all related government offices to do all they could to ensure that garment factories can resume production starting Wednesday, the BGMEA said.

India lowers fiscal deficit target to 4.9% of GDP for FY25
The fiscal target was part of India's federal budget, announced on Tuesday by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. A lower fiscal deficit will boost foreign investors' sentiment and improve India's chances of a sovereign rating update as it brings the country closer to its goal of narrowing the deficit to below 4.5% of GDP by fiscal year 2025/26. India's budget gap stood at 5.8% of GDP in fiscal year 2024. CONTEXTA record surplus transfer of 2.11 trillion rupees ($25.3 billion) from the Reserve Bank of India, more than twice of what was projected in February, has helped the government narrow the fiscal deficit. "From 2026-27 onwards, our endeavour will be to keep the fiscal deficit each year such that the central government debt will be on a declining path as percentage of GDP"
