Bangladesh: Gearing up for the Future of Manufacturing

For two decades, Bangladesh has achieved impressively-high rates of economic growth. This success is mainly due to the ready-made garment sector, where access to a large pool of workers has made the industry globally competitive. But the level of growth can’t last indefinitely. As Bangladesh becomes a middle-income country, labor costs will rise. Buyers will move to places where goods are produced more cheaply. And a lack of skilled managers, designers and other technical experts will further limit the country’s appeal. The COVID-19 pandemic has only made this outlook worse. So, what can Bangladesh do to sustain its economic growth?

Graham Watson's insight:

This is an excellent clip that looks at the reasons for Bangladesh's recent growth performance, and how it might look at sustaining this as it loses its low wage advantages.

 

Bangladesh is going to have to strengthen its investment in more advanced technologies and its managerial techniques.
