Bangladesh Bank has decided to continue the export cash incentive program for the fiscal year 2026-27, keeping both the sector coverage and incentive rates the same as in the previous fiscal year. A recent circular from the BB confirmed that cash incentives will be provided for 43 specified export items, with rates ranging from 0.30 percent to 10 percent, mirroring the rates from FY26.
Exporters will be eligible for these incentives if they meet the requirements and documentation standards within the stipulated timeframe as per the existing foreign exchange regulations. Bangladesh Bank has emphasized that all conditions, eligibility criteria, and operational procedures related to the distribution of incentives will remain consistent.
Authorized Dealers (ADs) have been directed to carefully review applications, conduct thorough verifications, and process payments in accordance with the current guidelines. BB officials stated that by maintaining the same incentive rates, the central bank aims to uphold the growth in exports, encourage diversification into non-traditional sectors, and provide a stable policy environment without adding extra financial pressure.
