Bangladesh recorded export earnings of US$ 8.69 billion during the first two months (July–August) of the current fiscal year 2025–26, reflecting a 10.61 percent growth compared to the same period during the previous fiscal year.
Despite this overall positive performance, the year-on-year growth declined by 2.93 percent in August 2025. Export earnings for August 2025 stood at $3.92 billion, slightly lower than the $ 4.03 billion achieved in August 2024.
US tariffs disrupted global demand and supply chains, causing a fall in supply orders from international buyers. After a successful tariff negotiation with Washington, export orders surged in Bangladesh, businesses said.
The Export Promotion Bureau (EPB) noted that while export performance in the opening months of the fiscal year indicates resilience, the slowdown in August underlines the challenges facing Bangladesh’s export sector in the context of global demand fluctuations and evolving market dynamics.
