Pharmaceutical exports from Bangladesh grew nearly 15 percent year-on-year in the first two months of the current fiscal year as drug-makers secured international tenders, according to industry people. The manufacturers also said to have set a target to ship products by this month against the orders placed for the year in order to avoid disruptions stemming from any possible political unrest centring the upcoming general elections. Buyers have also started to place higher orders as economies gradually recover from the impacts of global economic crises brought on by the Russia-Ukraine war. Thus, medicine shipment fetched $31.64 million in July and August of 2023-24. Pharmaceutical exports from Bangladesh fell 7 percent year-on-year to $175.42 million in 2022-23 due to the impacts of global economic crises and subsequent US dollar shortage in most underdeveloped countries.
