The European Union (EU), as an integrated market, has been the single largest destination for Bangladesh’s exports. Taking advantage of the EU’s generous Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) scheme for the least developed countries (LDCs), Everything but Arms (EBA), Bangladesh rapidly expanded its exports from less than $2 billion in FY01 to $25...
This study utilises household-level survey data and a cross-country panel to establish a causal relationship between indirect taxation and poverty, inequality, and economic growth in Bangladesh.
This brief uses elasticity and markup estimates to understand the potential impact of LDC graduation on Bangladesh's competitiveness in the readymade garment industry.
This paper investigates the impact of indirect taxes on poverty, income inequality, and economic growth in Bangladesh and globally. The escalating Gini coefficient in Bangladesh highlights the urgency of addressing income inequality. The study constructs a pseudo-panel using Bangladesh's four rounds of household income and expenditure survey and cr...
The United Kingdom (UK) has introduced its preferential trading scheme for developing countries, called the Developing Countries Trading Scheme (DCTS), marking its departure from the EU's Generalized System of Preference (GSP). The DCTS could be a game changer for maintaining export competitiveness in apparel

The paper offers a concise discussion of Bangladesh's tax ecosystem comprising different interdependent political and economic interest groups. The responsibilities of formulating and changing a tax policy lie on the members of the Parliament of Bangladesh and bureaucrats in the Ministry of Finance and Planning, while the NBR shoulders the responsi...
The broad objective of this study is to assess the impact of cross-border data flow (CBDF) restrictions on the economy of Bangladesh. More specifically, there are two specific objectives for understanding and analysing the impact of restrictions on CBDF on: the digital services exports of Bangladesh; and the economy of Bangladesh.
It provides empi...
This study assessed scenarios such as if Bangladesh were to adopt cross-border data flow (CBDF) policies like India and Vietnam, including the impact of CBDF restrictions on digital exports because of retaliatory measures from Bangladesh’s trading partners. Across scenarios, it is estimated that Bangladesh's digital services exports are estimated t...
Tea garden workers (TGWs) in Bangladesh are recognized as a marginalised group lacking access to adequate social protection support, education and health care services, and decent work conditions. Being confined within remote tea estates, they are often confronted with extremely limited livelihood opportunities, poor living arrangements and health...
We present an application of the recent CS-ARDL methodology in the context of a country’s trade balance–exchange rate relationship. The trade balance is expected to deteriorate first before improving in response to currency depreciation and vice versa, widely known as the J-curve effect satisfying the Marshall–Lerner condition in the long run. Comb...
Over the past decades, the European Union (EU) has emerged as an indispensable trade and development partner for Bangladesh. The EU is by far the country’s largest export market, taking almost half of Bangladesh’s exports. Taking advantage of the Everything But Arms (EBA) initiative, which provides preferential duty-free and quota-free market acces...
The Covid-19 pandemic is causing an unprecedented health and economic crisis for global economies, including Bangladesh. In the absence of a vaccine or effective treatment, governments worldwide implemented large-scale containment and economic shutdown measures. These actions have resulted in unprecedented short-term economic losses. After the with...
Over the past couple of decades, the People’s Republic of China has emerged as a global economic superpower having achieved high economic growth sustained for a very long period of time and in the process becoming the world’s largest merchandise exporter. Its rapid structural transformation and development transition to an upper-middle-income count...
As a testimony to its impressive economic performance, sustained over the past decades, Bangladesh is officially set to graduate from the group of least developed countries (LDCs) by 2024. Against overwhelming odds, it is a tremendous achievement, featuring international recognition of the country’s ongoing development transition. As an LDC, Bangla...
The services sector plays an increasingly important role as a country develops and expands its export base. Indeed, the sector provides for the single largest broad economic activity—measured by its share in the gross domestic product (GDP). In Bangladesh, it has been growing on average at 6 per cent per annum, currently comprising more than 51 per...
While the United States has been an indispensable trade and development partner for Bangladesh, there exists enormous opportunities for strengthening economic cooperation between the two countries. This paper argues that the scope for reinvigorated bilateral cooperation arises as the Bangladesh economy has expanded considerably over the past two de...
Exports of furniture have shown strong dynamism in recent years, reaching over US$63 million in 2017–18 and registering a growth of 20 percent over the previous year. The furniture industry is recognized as one of the prominent sectors with high export and diversification potential in the backdrop of readymade garments' overwhelming and ever-growin...
Bangladesh is likely to graduate out of the group of least developed countries (LDCs) by 2024. While this represents a major transition in terms of its development, demonstrating the country’s impressive socio-economic achievements, it also gives rise to concern about potentially sizeable costs due to the resulting loss of access to various support...
Inclusive growth and development are dependent on, among others, employment generation and a well-functioning labour market that can ensure participation of all – including women and other vulnerable groups – in economic activities. Generating adequate and productive employment opportunities is a challenge for Bangladesh, as it requires an addition...
