Any increase in energy prices significantly impacts production costs, squeezing profit margins and making it difficult to compete in the global market.” -he added.

Beyond cost, Mr. Rahman emphasizes the looming threat of energy security. “The recent power outages and uncertainties surrounding energy availability pose a serious challenge for production continuity,” he says. He also remains optimistic about the future of Bangladesh’s textile industry. “Our industry has faced challenges before and emerged stronger,” he says.
