As Bangladesh is set to graduate from least developed country (LDC) status by 2026, this working paper reviews the trends and dynamics of exports in Bangladesh.

Despite the success in garments exports, Bangladesh's overall export volume remains modest and suffers from staggering export concentration. This paper examines diversification challenges and explores the potential implications of LDC graduation on export expansion and diversification. It also outlines policy recommendations to promote export diversification and support a smooth transition from LDC status.
