Exports to South Korea tripled in 5 years on duty benefits

Exports from Bangladesh to South Korea nearly tripled over the past five years thanks to duty-free benefits and a push by exporters to explore the world’s 13th largest economy and thereby diversify their export destinations. Annual exports to Korea had hovered between $200 million and $300 million in the five years up till fiscal year (FY) 2016-17. Exports started rising the following year, crossing the half-a-billion-dollar mark to reach a decade-high in FY22. Then, in FY23, exports to the East Asian nation soared 18 percent year-on-year to $624 million. The uptick in shipments continued in the first half of the current fiscal year, growing 7 percent year-on-year to more than $330 million, according to the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB). Besides, the government’s policy support in the form of a 4 percent cash incentive on exports to new markets encouraged manufacturers until December 31 last year. However, the rate was reduced to 3 percent from January 1 this year.
