DHAKA, Dec 20, 2020 (BSS) – Experts at a webinar today stressed the need for taking some concerted steps like promoting export competitiveness, reducing dependency on revenue from imports, raising the tax-GDP ratio as well as expanding the tax net, and putting utmost priority to the trade policy options with EU and UK in a bid to ensure smooth LDC graduation of Bangladesh.
They also suggested for prioritizing those FTAs only where export market access is critical, becoming selective about FTAs as “mad rush” to any FTA will not yield good, and offsetting costs to improve competitiveness for Bangladesh.
