Bangladesh: Garment sector loses $800 million during disruption, with lost orders worth approx. $4 billion

"Apparel sector faces $800m loss due to unrest", 1 August 2024

The recent unrest surrounding the quota reform movement has inflicted significant losses on Bangladesh's garment sector. The resumption of internet services has made the extent of the damage more apparent, revealing that business owners faced multiple layers of setbacks during the outage.

With internet services restored, many buyers have either cancelled their orders or demanded compensation. Some buyers are insisting on air shipment of goods instead of the usual sea route. Additionally, factory closures have halted production, exacerbating the losses.
