International buyers of garment products from Bangladesh called the head of the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) to learn about the current political situation and its potential impact on business. The BGMEA president received calls from 11 top global retailers concerned about unrest in Bangladesh and wanting to know when the crisis would end so they could plan orders. However, he was unable to provide a clear answer about the future course of the political crisis. The BGMEA will observe the situation in coming days to determine how to address it for the sake of the garment industry and meeting export targets.
