Key areas of growth for Bangladesh...
1. Garments production, we need to move up the value chain in this and build brands, export orientated from the $18bn to about $30bn-$35bn, within the next 4-5 years as per the gov target.
2. Footware manufactuing, similar to that in south east asian nations, hong kong, china, thailand. We are well on our way on this route, with korean help we are in the process of building a similar capacity as that in the garment sector. We can expect exports of around $5bn-$8bn in the next few years.
3. Light manufacturing and engineering industries, local assembley to start of with then to full manufacture and design.
4. Ship building, with our ancient heritage and the return of experienced workers from South Korea, this looks like a bright sector.
5. Service sector, banking, IT, call centres, BPO etc could then take over as the engines of growth at around 2015+.
