Exports maintain steady momentum with 1.77pc growth in November

Bangladesh’s export earnings reached US$ 3,891.56 million in November 2025, marking a 1.77 percent increase compared to the previous month and reinforcing the country’s steady export momentum, reports BSS.

During the first five months of the FY 2025–26 (July–November), total exports stood at $20,028.59 million, showing a 0.62 percent growth over the same period of the previous fiscal year, which recorded $19,906.01 million.

While exports in November 2025 registered a 5.54 percent year-on-year decline compared to November 2024, the overall monthly upward trend signals sustained resilience and adaptability within Bangladesh’s export sectors.

The apparel sector remains the backbone of export performance, contributing $3,140.94 million in November 2025.

Both knitwear and woven garments continued to drive earnings, supported by strong contributions from leather and leather goods, agricultural products, jute and jute goods, home textiles, pharmaceuticals, ships, shrimp, and light engineering products. These diverse sectors collectively strengthened the country’s export portfolio.

Among key export destinations, the United States and the United Kingdom maintained their leading positions, achieving growth rates of 4.20 percent and 3.04 percent, respectively.

Exports to several emerging and strategic markets also rose significantly—China (23.83 percent), Poland (11.57 percent), Saudi Arabia (11.34 percent), and Spain (10.46 percent)—reflecting Bangladesh’s expanding global market footprint.

Despite year-on-year fluctuations, the continued month-on-month growth and strong performance across major sectors underscore the resilience, competitiveness, and positive outlook for Bangladesh’s export industries in the global market.
