Twenty-nine out of 53 Bangladesh missions abroad have failed to achieve their respective export targets for the first half (July-Dec) of the current fiscal (2014-15).
The key Bangladesh missions like the ones in Washington, Berlin, London, Paris, Madrid, Ottawa, Rome and the Hague have failed to achieve their July-December export targets while some other important missions-Stockholm, Dubai, Riyadh, Canberra and New Delhi-have been able to reach their targets for the six-month period.
The overall export earnings for this July-December
period amounted to $ 14,914.21 million against the strategic target of $ 15,604.00 million, showing a fall of 4.42 percent over the strategic target.
