DHAKA: Finance Minister Abul Maal Abdul Muhith underscored the need for diversification of export products and expansion of markets destination in a bid to achieve expected economic growth.
He came up with the observation while distributing the ‘HSBC Export Excellence Award-2011’ at a city hotel on Friday night.
Muhith said, “We have unlimited possibilities of increasing our export of goods. However, we fail to achieve the goal due to lack of multiplication of exported goods and expansion of new markets.”
