Bangladesh’s central bank on Saturday announced a 600 billion taka ($5 billion) stimulus package to revive shuttered factories and support businesses as economic growth slows. The package aims to restart production, create jobs and restore business confidence, as export-oriented industries, especially the ready-made garment sector, struggle with weaker global demand, higher input costs and supply chain disruptions, while rising import bills add to pressure on the economy amid geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
