Bangladesh recorded export earnings of US $ 3,891.56 million in November 2025, marking a 1.77% rise from the previous month and underscoring the economy’s continued export momentum despite global volatility.
Export receipts for the first five months of the 2025–26 financial year (July–November) reached US $ 20,028.59 million — a marginal 0.62% increase compared with US $ 19,906.01 million in the same period last year. The month-on-month growth pattern highlights sustained resilience across key export sectors, even as November shipments fell 5.54% year-on-year due to weaker external demand.
The ready-made garments (RMG) sector remained the backbone of export performance, contributing US $ 3,140.94 million in November alone. Additional support came from leather and leather goods, jute and jute products, agricultural produce, home textiles, pharmaceuticals, shipbuilding, shrimp and light engineering — reinforcing the gradual diversification of Bangladesh’s export basket.
Among major destinations, the United States and the United Kingdom maintained their lead with export growth of 4.20% and 3.04% respectively. Stronger gains were recorded in emerging and strategic markets, including China (23.83%), Poland (11.57%), Saudi Arabia (11.34%) and Spain (10.46%), signalling Bangladesh’s expanding global footprint.
Despite year-on-year fluctuations driven by shifting global demand, the consistent monthly growth across sectors reflects the competitiveness and adaptability of Bangladesh’s export industries, and points to promising prospects for the remainder of the fiscal year.
