Bangladesh has signed new trade agreements with the European Union to expand its garment exports. The deal, which ensures duty-free access for several textile products, is expected to create thousands of jobs and strengthen Dhaka’s economy.
Industry leaders say Bangladesh is now the second-largest garment exporter in the world, after China. The EU remains a key market, with over 60% of Bangladesh’s clothing exports going to European buyers.
For Bangladesh-based readers, this represents a significant economic opportunity; for India and regional outlets, it highlights South Asia’s growing role in the global textile trade.
