Dhaka, Sept. 2 -- Bangladesh's economy is tightly connected to the global system through trade, energy imports, and industrial activities.

As one of the world's top exporters of ready-made garments (RMG), the country depends on efficient supply chains and steady shipping costs to stay competitive.
