Exports hit 12-month high in July, but slip nearly 1% Y-o-Y

Bangladesh recorded its highest monthly exports in the past 12 months in July, with shipments totalling $4.72 billion. Despite the strong performance, exports declined 0.9% year-on-year, and exporters caution growth is likely to improve in the months ahead.

Data from the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB), however, show exports rose by more than 12% from June.

Exporters said July is typically the strongest export month as shipments of goods for the upcoming winter season peak during this period, making the higher export value expected.
