2.1. Economic landscape and key sectors (manufacturing, agriculture, IT, construction, energy)

Manufacturing, agriculture, construction, and energy shape Bangladesh’s economic landscape. The manufacturing sector, led by textiles and garments, remains the backbone of exports. Agriculture supports employment and food security, with modernization efforts improving productivity. The IT sector is rapidly growing, driven by government incentives and a thriving startup ecosystem. Construction is expanding due to infrastructure megaprojects, including highways, bridges, and urban developments. The energy sector is shifting towards renewable sources, with a 40% clean energy target by 2041. While challenges exist, these sectors offer substantial investment opportunities for sustainable economic growth in Bangladesh.
