textile Industry Faces Decline Amid Rising Costs and Economic Challenges

-

The textile industry, a key pillar of the country’s economy, is facing significant challenges.

Increasing costs and difficult business conditions have started to impact the sector, leading to a notable drop in export figures.

These issues are raising concerns about the industry’s future and its broader economic implications.

The country’s textile exports have experienced a sharp decline at the beginning of the new fiscal year.

According to data from the Department of Statistics, textile exports dropped by 10% on a monthly basis and 3% annually. In July 2024, exports amounted to $1.27 billion, down from $1.41 billion in June 2024.

This decline underscores the pressures the industry is under, particularly due to rising electricity costs and other unfavorable conditions.

In July 2023, textile exports stood at $1.31 billion, reflecting a decrease compared to the same period the previous year. As a vital part of the economy, the textile sector continues to struggle with high electricity costs and challenging business environments.

With the new fiscal year underway, concerns are growing about the potential long-term impacts on the national economy.
