Readymade garment (RMG) exports from Bangladesh increased by 16.61 per cent to $3.366 billion in the first month of fiscal 2022-23 (July-June) compared to exports of $2.887 billion in July 2021, according to the provisional data released by the Export Promotion Bureau. The export was 6.45 per cent more than the target of $3.163 billion for July 2022.

The export witnessed slower growth in first month of new fiscal which is probably due to the impact of economic challenges the world is currently facing.
