\tJuly exports hold up against a record base<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Export Promotion Bureau (EPB) reports Bangladesh\u2019s RMG exports at $*<\/span>.*<\/span>*<\/span> billion in July *<\/span>*<\/span>*<\/span>*<\/span>, down *<\/span>.*<\/span>*<\/span> per cent year on year but up *<\/span>*<\/span>.*<\/span>*<\/span> per cent from June. Shipments to the US, the industry\u2019s largest market, rose *<\/span>.*<\/span>*<\/span> per cent to $*<\/span>*<\/span>*<\/span>.*<\/span>*<\/span> million. The year-on-year decline is largely a base effect: July *<\/span>*<\/span>*<\/span>*<\/span> was the highest single-month RMG export performance on record, as exporters accelerated US shipments ahead of new tariffs that took effect in August *<\/span>*<\/span>*<\/span>*<\/span>.<\/p>\n

TexPro data on US imports of Bangladeshi knitted and woven apparel (HS *<\/span>*<\/span> + HS *<\/span>*<\/span>) supports the same reading. Combined imports stood at $*<\/span>*<\/span>*<\/span>.*<\/span> million in July *<\/span>*<\/span>*<\/span>*<\/span> and peaked at $*<\/span>*<\/span>*<\/span>.*<\/span> million in September *<\/span>*<\/span>*<\/span>*<\/span> during the US holiday-shipping season. Based on TexPro data, January-May *<\/span>*<\/span>*<\/span>*<\/span> combined imports totalled $*<\/span>.*<\/span>*<\/span> billion, about *<\/span> per cent below the same period a year earlier. May *<\/span>*<\/span>*<\/span>*<\/span>, however, showed a year-on-year recovery of nearly *<\/span> per cent. The US market is stabilising rather than collapsing.<\/p>\n
