| Summary: | Bangladesh sixth five year plan
underscores the importance of exports for dynamism in the
manufacturing sector and provision of high productivity and
high income jobs. Indeed, faster export growth will be
critical if Bangladesh is to achieve the accelerated growth
necessary to reach its goal of becoming a middle income
country by 2021. The focus of this study is to analyze the
constraints to continued rapid growth in overall exports.
This study seeks to focus on issues relating to i)
continuation of fast growth in the basic garment sector; ii)
providing an environment for encouraging export of mid and
higher-value garments; iii) possibilities for
diversification into IT-enabled services-business process
outsourcing, or ITES-BPO; and iv) drawing some more general
lessons for overall export growth. |
