Operations at Chattogram port have resumed for both import and export activities after a two-day shutdown, which had left approximately 3,500 TEUs of export containers stranded. The photo shows the bustling port with numerous containers and ships, indicating renewed activity.
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.
The export figure could have been much higher had there not been a long holiday in June during Eid-ul-Azha, when production at factories remained closed, he said.
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.
