Recent reports published in some print, online and social media claiming that several garment factories, including DBL Group, have shut down due to electricity and gas shortages are completely false, misleading and baseless, said the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) .
Bangladesh's readymade garment exports saw a slight decline of 1.92 percent in July, the first month of fiscal year 2026-27, according to Export Promotion Bureau data. Exports stood at $3.89 billion, down from $3.96 billion in July 2025. The BGMEA, however, views this marginal decline as normal, attributing it to the 'base effect'. July last year recorded $3.96 billion in exports with 24.67 percent growth – one of the strongest months in the country's export history. Despite current challenges, exports of nearly $3.9 billion demonstrate the industry's resilience.
