Reports attribute this drop in demand to political conflicts and subsequent disruptions to the global demand for goods. The RMG sector remains our largest export earner, but over-dependence on a single sector leaves us vulnerable to global market swings. Expanding into other industries can offer pathways to broader and more stable export baskets. This drop in export numbers should act as a wake-up call. This is a crisis that impacts our nation's growth, and through sustained action by the government and relevant industries, Bangladesh can surely restore export momentum.
