Bangladesh Receives Three-Year Extension for LDC Graduation Preparation

Bangladesh has received a three-year deferment of its graduation from the least-developed-country category, giving the government and businesses additional time to prepare for changes in international trade preferences. No financial package value was announced for the extension. The extended preparation period creates demand for trade-policy research, export-readiness training and business advisory services. HPC can support organisations with market research, strategic planning and consultancy proposals.
