Implications of Bangladesh’s premature graduation from LDC Status
Bangladeshโs upcoming graduation from LDC status brings both opportunities and challenges, particularly for the RMG sector. While the milestone marks significant economic progress, it will also impact trade benefits like GSP (Generalized System of Preferences), creating pressure on the countryโs garment industry to enhance its competitiveness and capacity.

“The premature graduation from LDC status will pose new challenges for Bangladesh’s garment sector, particularly for the buying houses. To overcome these challenges, we must focus on strengthening our capacity, enhancing competitiveness, and preparing to adapt to new trade dynamics. Collaboration and innovation will be key to sustaining growth in this new era.”
As the RMG sector evolves, BGBA remains committed to supporting its members and fostering solutions to ensure Bangladesh maintains its strong position in the global market. Together, we can tackle the challenges ahead and turn them into opportunities for sustainable progress.
