Abstract

The paper examines the conditions shaping the global demand for textile and clothing products from a given country or rather determining whether a country is a suitable investment location for the production of T&C products. It also highlights the trends in Bangladesh’s RMG exports and examines the medium to longer term prospects of Bangladesh’s export-oriented garment industries, and in particular the impact of the removal of the Multi-Fibre Arrangement in 2005.
