Export bounces back in May

Bangladesh's exports bounced back in May after a consecutive decline for the last two months riding on increased shipment of main export earner garments, according to data released by the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB) today.

Exporters shipped $4.84 billion worth of goods in May this year, up 26.6 per cent year-on-year from the same month previous year's $3.83 billion.

Overall export soared 7.1 per cent year-on-year to $50.5 billion in July-May during 2022-23 fiscal year, according to EPB data.
