Bangladesh Export Earnings Reach $8.69 Billion in First Two Months of FY26

 

Dhaka: Bangladesh recorded export earnings of $8.69 billion in the first two months (July-August) of the 2025-26 fiscal year, reflecting a robust 10.61% growth compared to the same period last year, according to the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB).

However, August 2025 saw a year-on-year decline of 2.93%, with export receipts totaling $3.92 billion, down from $4.03 billion in August 2024. The EPB noted that while the fiscal year’s early performance shows resilience, the August slowdown underscores challenges in the export sector due to global demand fluctuations and shifting market dynamics.

Former BGMEA director Mohiuddin Rubel reported that the country earned $7.13 billion in exports during the period, with a growth rate of 9.63%. The knitwear sector contributed $3.95 billion, growing by 9.11%, while the woven sector added $3.18 billion, up by 10.28%. In August alone, exports totaled $3.17 billion, marking a 4.75% year-on-year decline. Knitwear exports dropped to $1.77 billion, down 6.34%, and woven exports fell to $1.40 billion, a 2.65% decrease, according to Rubel, who is also the managing director of the Bangladesh Apparel Exchange.
