Bangladesh Bank recently announced the continuation of the export cash incentive scheme for FY27, July-June), while keeping the sector coverage and incentive rates unchanged from FY26.
The decision is expected to sustain export momentum, support export diversification into non-traditional sectors, and offer stability to exporters at a time of shifting global demand and cost pressures.
A latest circular by the central bank said cash incentives will be available for 43 specified export items, with rates ranging from 0.30 per cent to 10 per cent. The item-wise rates are identical to those of the previous fiscal.
All conditions, eligibility criteria and operational procedures governing the disbursement of incentives will remain unchanged.
Authorised dealers (ADs) have been instructed to scrutinise applications, ensure proper verification and process payments in line with the prevailing guidelines.
By retaining the same rates, Bangladesh Bank aims to sustain export momentum, support diversification into non-traditional sectors, and ensure a predictable policy environment without imposing additional fiscal strain.
