A high-level review meeting on Bangladesh’s graduation from the Least Developed Country (LDC) status was held under the chairmanship of the Chief Adviser. The meeting reviewed progress on 16 key decisions. NBR Chairman Md. Abdur Rahman Khan reported that 19 agencies have already joined the National Single Window initiative, and briefed the Chief Adviser on the implementation status of the 2023 Tariff Policy action plan. Discussions also covered extending incentives and duty-free benefits to export sectors beyond ready-made garments. Chief Adviser Dr. Yunus criticized the neglect of the leather industry, stating, “We’ve committed a disservice to the leather sector by failing to evaluate it properly.” He called for a separate meeting to resolve the industry’s issues and urged legal reforms to eliminate ineffective policies.
