SANGSAD BHABAN, June 11, 2026 (BSS) - The government has set a target to transform Bangladesh into one of the leading global electronics manufacturing hubs within the next five years through providing appropriate policy support, recognizing the electronics sector as one of the country's fastest-growing and most promising industries.

According to the budget speech, appropriate policy formulation for the sector will help transform Bangladesh into one of the leading global electronics manufacturing hubs within the next five years.
