The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) has called for strong business-friendly policies and strategic government support following the outcome of the 13th National Parliamentary Election.
In a congratulatory message, BGMEA extended its appreciation for the people’s mandate and expressed optimism about the country’s economic future. The association noted that under the leadership of Tarique Rahman, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) secured more than a two-thirds majority in parliament, describing it as a significant political milestone.
BGMEA emphasized that the ready-made garment (RMG) sector, the country’s leading export-earning industry, is currently at a critical juncture. With Bangladesh approaching post-LDC graduation challenges, ensuring an uninterrupted energy supply, strengthening infrastructure, and maintaining competitive trade advantages in the global market will be crucial.

The association stated that policy continuity, export incentives, energy security, and an investment-friendly environment will be essential to sustain growth. BGMEA reiterated that with full government support, the industry’s target of reaching USD 100 billion in garment exports by 2030 is achievable.
It also expressed hope that the new government will prioritize economic stability, innovation, and global competitiveness, enabling the “Made in Bangladesh” brand to further strengthen its position worldwide.
BGMEA further noted that the participation of industry representatives elected as Members of Parliament will help address sector-specific challenges and contribute to building a more resilient and dynamic national economy.
