Dhaka, Bangladesh (BBN)- BNP Standing Committee member Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury has said the party will replicate the successful RMG model in other export-oriented industries if it comes to power.
Speaking at the 4th Bangladesh Economic Conference on Saturday, he said facilities such as bonded warehouses and back-to-back LC (letter of credit) mechanisms will be opened up for emerging export sectors.
“We want to create more export-earning sectors like RMG in the coming days, and it will be included in our election manifesto,” he added.
Mr. Khasru said the BNP aims to create 10 million jobs within the first 18 months of its government if elected.
“It requires funding, and we have chalked out a plan for where the money will come from,” he said.
“We don’t want to put more pressure on banks, which are already under strain. We plan to revitalise the capital and bond markets for long-term investment,” the BNP leader added.
