The government has decided to continue export incentives and cash assistance for 43 sectors until June 2026. The ready-made garment (RMG) and textile sectors will continue to be the main beneficiaries of the incentives. Processed agricultural products will continue to enjoy a 10% cash subsidy, while diversified jute goods will receive 10%, jute products 5% and jute yarn 3%. Incentives ranging from 1.5% to 8% will remain in place for frozen shrimp, electronics, plastic goods, ship exports and various animal by-products. The previous government reduced export incentives twice in 2024 in line with World Trade Organization guidelines.
