Bangladesh needs to formulate long-term plans on how to enhance its export basket after graduating from the UN s group of Least Developed Countries (LDCs), experts say at a webinar held yesterday.
Related measures could include providing low cost and easy access to finance, adequate policy support along with fiscal and non-fiscal incentives for non-garment export sectors while ensuring equal treatment and skills development, they said.
