RECENTLY I visited the Dhaka Textile and Garments Machinery Fair held in the Bangabandhu International Conference Centre. As it was a weekly holiday I found a big crowd at the fair venue. It was a great gathering of both buyers and sellers. Bangladesh is now the second largest garments exporter in the world and we may soon find ourselves topping the list of exporters if we can make our country more investor-friendly. The RMG sector now employs 4.4 million people and many more are indirectly dependent on it. The fair was held from February 23 to February 26. New technology and state of the art machinery were on display in the fair. It was a great opportunity for local and foreign entrepreneurs to have a glimpse of our RMG sector. Despite slowing down of the world economy, Bangladesh witnessed a sharp rise on RMG exports, thanks to tireless efforts of entrepreneurs, workers and the Bangladesh government. As demand for Bangladeshi RMG products is increasing, the government should make the road smoother for RMG exporters of the country and make Bangladesh number one in the world of RMG exports.
