parliamentary committee
The committee is focused on diversifying the export basket and enhancing industrial competitiveness ahead of the November 2026 LDC graduation.
Commerce Minister Khandakar Abdul Muktadir addressed the Jatiya Sangsad regarding trade deficit and export competitiveness.
Minister Muktadir announced a strategic vision to increase export earnings to $150 billion by targeting priority sectors.
The government announced plans to explore new export destinations to reduce reliance on the RMG sector.
No entity formally titled 'National Committee on Export Diversification' was found in any primary source (mincom.gov.bd, epb.gov.bd, BSS, Daily Star, TBS, Financial Express, New Age, Dhaka Tribune searched). The closest documented body is the 'National Committee on Exports' established by the Export Policy 2024-2027 (approved by CCEA on May 15, 2024), which holds an explicit export diversification mandate and is chaired by the Minister of Commerce. A separate and distinct body, the 16-member inter-ministerial committee chaired by the Principal Secretary to the Chief Adviser's Office, was formed by the Ministry of Finance on July 30, 2025, specifically to review post-LDC export competitiveness for four sectors (leather and leather goods, jute goods, agricultural and agro-processed goods, pharmaceuticals); this body submitted recommendations for non-subsidy support mechanisms including tax cuts, lower utility costs, and industrial land provision. Both bodies pre-date the Tarique Rahman government (February 17, 2026) but their work is being carried forward. The 'National Committee on Exports' as named in the Export Policy 2024-2027 is the most appropriate match for this slug. verification_status is 'partial' because: (1) no meeting of the National Committee on Exports under the BNP government has been publicly reported; (2) the Bangla name of the committee was not found in any retrieved source; (3) the exact circular number for the committee's constitution within the Export Policy was not retrieved (PDF was binary-encoded). head_since is February 17, 2026 (Muktadir's swearing-in as Commerce Minister); the committee's policy-level presidency transfers automatically with the ministerial appointment per Export Policy 2024-2027 structure.
