India.com's report on Bangladesh apparel industry misleading: CA press wing

The Chief Adviser's Press Wing stated on Wednesday that India.com's report, published on Tuesday, claiming that many global brands are shifting their focus from Bangladesh to Indian manufacturers, is misleading.

"The article published in India.com claims many clothing brands are now shifting their focus to Indian manufacturers from Bangladesh to meet their demands. This is a misleading fact," the CA press wing said in a statement posted on its verified Facebook page - CA Press Wing Facts.

The report stated that Bangladesh's export earnings for November 2024 totaled US$ 4.12 billion, showing a strong growth of 15.63% compared to the previous month.

"Cumulatively, exports during the July-November 2024 period reached US$ 16.11 billion, achieving a 12.34 percent growth compared to US$ 14.34 billion in the same period last year," the statement read.

The CA press wing said the apparel sector contributed significantly with US$ 3.06 billion in November, marking an impressive 16.25 percent growth from US$ 2.84 billion in October.
