Exports from Bangladesh grew by 8.58 percent year-on-year to $48.28 billion in the 2024-25 fiscal year, according to data from the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB) today.
However, monthly exports in June declined by 7.55 percent year-on-year to $3.33 billion, said Md Anwar Hossain, vice-chairman of the EPB.

Moreover, exports to India also fell because of recent Indo-Bangla trade tensions, he added.
The complete shutdown and movement by officials of the National Board of Revenue also affected exports in June, he said.
