Dhaka, May 22 -- Leaders from Sammilito Parishad, one of the two panels contesting the upcoming Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) elections, have called on the government to ensure a stable supply of power and energy, alongside robust policy support and investment in skills development, to drive the country's ready-made garment (RMG) exports towards the $100 billion mark.
The appeal was made on 21 May during the launch of the Sammilito Parishad's election manifesto at a hotel in Dhaka, ahead of the BGMEA polls scheduled for 28 May. The election will determine 35 directors to lead the nation's apex RMG trade body for the 2025-2027 term.
