Bangladesh's garment sector is facing daily transaction disruptions worth Tk 2,600 crore due to a prolonged work stoppage by National Board of Revenue (NBR) staff. BGMEA President Mahmud Hasan Khan warned that smaller factories risk bankruptcy, threatening worker livelihoods and industry stability. Business leaders criticized the unprecedented NBR shutdown, urging swift resolution to prevent long-term economic harm. While they oppose the call to remove the NBR chairman, they stressed that halting revenue operations endangers the entire economy.
