Export data mismatch: Is it the tip of the iceberg?
Accurate data is a crucial input for taking effective policies and putting the economy on the right track. If the data is not correct or time-befitting, policies might be proved wrong. Then, development successes will be only on paper and will not reflect reality.
Export data mismatch a result of double counting by EPB
One of the main reasons for the $14 billion discrepancy in the export data was the Export Promotion Bureau’s (EPB) double counting of exported garment items made in factories inside export processing zones (EPZs), Salman F Rahman, the prime minister’s adviser on private industry and investment, said yesterday.
