Energy, not tariffs, will decide Bangladesh’s export growth

Bangladesh’s RMG exports were $3.89 billion in July 2026, down 1.92 per cent year on year but up 14.73 per cent from June.
US shipments rose 0.25 per cent to $918.74 million, and TexPro data show the market is stabilising.
A roughly 17 per cent gas-supply cut and 40-70 per cent capacity use are limiting factories despite a 10 per cent US tariff versus 12.5 per cent for Vietnam and China.
