Exports from Bangladesh hit an all-time high of $52.08 billion in the just-concluded fiscal year, giving much-needed breathing space to the country amid ongoing volatility in the foreign exchange regime, official figures showed yesterday. This is the first-time overseas sales went past the $50-billion mark, comfortably overshooting the target of $43.5 billion set for the fiscal year of 2021-22. In FY22, receipts were up 34.38 per cent compared to a year ago, when exporters brought home $38.76 billion, according to the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB). Alone in June, the shipment stood at $4.908 billion, up 37.19 per cent year-on-year, and the highest ever on record in a single month. The previous highest was registered in December last year when the earnings stood at $4.907 billion. As usual, apparel shipment, which accounts for about 85 per cent of the national earnings from international sources, was the biggest contributor to the highest export shipment. Garment shipment clocked 35.47 per cent year-on-year growth in FY22, netting $42.61 billion. Of the sum, $23.21 billion came from knitwear shipment, up 36.88 per cent. Woven garment shipment grew 33.82 per cent to $19.39 billion. Home textiles fetched $1.62 billion, an increase of 43.28 per cent from a year ago, as demand grew significantly since people still spend more time indoors than in the past as the coronavirus is yet to be eliminated.

Remittances slipped back into negative growth in fiscal year 2021-22 for the first time in the last six fiscal years as many remitters opted for the informal channels to send their money. The inflow stood at $21.03 billion in FY22, a decrease of 15 per cent year-on-year, according to data from Bangladesh Bank. But the positive part is that last fiscal year’s inflow was higher than that of FY20 when the pandemic was largely absent. Migrant workers had remitted $18.2 billion during the period. Expatriate Bangladeshis sent a record $24.77 billion in FY21 when the hundi system, an illegal cross-boundary financial system to launder money, remained inoperative due to the pandemic. Some 8.77 lakh people went abroad for work in the first 11 months of FY22 in contrast to 2.31 lakh in the entire FY21.
