Finance Minister Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury announced that Bangladesh has begun developing sector-based courses and curricula aligned with global demand. Speaking during the budget session on Thursday, he said the government is strengthening market-oriented training, curriculum development, certification, accreditation, and quality control. He confirmed that the new government will continue the 2.5 percent incentive on remittances to encourage expatriate workers to send money through legal channels.
The minister stated that in the month following the new government’s assumption of office, monthly remittances reached 3.75 billion dollars, the highest in the country’s history. He emphasized that this reflects expatriates’ confidence in the democratic government. The government is also implementing plans to expand employment opportunities across sectors, establish employment exchanges at district and upazila levels, and enforce the Bangladesh Labour (Amendment) Act, 2026 to strengthen workers’ legal protection.
Highlighting priorities for expatriates, he said a special expatriate card will be introduced to link welfare, insurance, banking, and emergency services. Bangladesh is pursuing bilateral agreements with several countries to expand labor markets and reopening previously closed destinations such as Malaysia, Oman, the UAE, and Kuwait.
