Overall exports in the July–May period of FY25 gained 10 percent to $44.94 billion from $40.85 billion a year ago—a development that is helping the country gradually come out of economic stress.

Bangladesh recorded 3.97 percent economic growth in FY25, the lowest since the Covid-19 pandemic year, due to a slowdown in the agricultural and services sectors, according to the provisional estimate of the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics.
