According to the readymade garment entrepreneurs of Bangladesh, the sector lost orders with Tk 250 billion in the beginning of the crisis. After several rounds of discussion, the EU proposed the incentive plan for the jobless workers. Several garment factories reopened on Sunday risking an aggressive spread of coronavirus infection. Several RMG sector entrepreneurs said the proposal got stuck due to complexities mainly over definition of the jobless workers and determining the number of such workers. The owner of a factory said it was difficult to implement the proposal to give the jobless workers incentives because it is difficult for the government and the owners to make a list of such workers.
