Ahead of Eid-ul-Fitr, the government has approved the release of BDT 2,500 crore in outstanding cash incentives to the country’s export-oriented ready-made garment (RMG) and related industries.

The BGMEA welcomed the decision, noting that it would ease liquidity constraints and allow timely payment of wages, bonuses, and allowances to workers. The funds will be released in two installments for FY 2025–26, helping maintain production continuity and competitiveness in the international market.
