Dhaka, May 17 -- Bangladesh should not be overly concerned about potential reciprocal tariffs from the United States, said Dr Debapriya Bhattacharya, Distinguished Fellow at the Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD), on Saturday.

Speaking at a seminar titled "U.S. Reciprocal Tariff and Way Forward for Bangladesh", Dr. Bhattacharya asserted, "I say this with responsibility. The impact of the tariffs is also affecting our competitor countries. As a result, we are not losing too much in comparative competition."

The seminar was jointly organised by the Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) and Business Initiative Leading Development (BUILD), and held at DCCI's Motijheel headquarters. Dr. Debapriya presented the keynote paper.
