The government has set an ambitious export earnings target of $63.5 billion for the 2025-26 fiscal year, up from last year’s $57.5 billion goal.
Announcing the target on Tuesday (August 12), Commerce Secretary Mahbubur Rahman said the $6 billion increase reflects plans to strengthen foreign exchange reserves and bolster the economy. Commerce Adviser Sk Bashir Uddin was also present at the briefing.
Officials say the target will be pursued through stronger support for key sectors—ready-made garments, textiles, leather, jute, and pharmaceuticals—alongside market diversification and improved product competitiveness.
The government remains focused on meeting the goal despite lingering challenges in the global economy.
