Bangladesh’s apparel exports to the EU reached $11.112 billion in Jan-Jul 2024, down from $11.679 billion in 2023, amid growing political unrest and student protests.
Exports fluctuated, with a sharp decline in June before recovering in July, just before Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s ousting.
Europe, including UK, contributed 57.41 per cent to Bangladesh’s total apparel exports in this period.
