Bangladesh RMG exports: $3.14 billion in April 2026 — up 31.21% year-on-year. Knitwear: +30.02%. Woven: +32.65%. Technically accurate. Also deeply misleading. April 2025 was one of the worst export months in recent history: Eid shutdown, India's transshipment ban, and US tariff shock all hit simultaneously. The 31% is measured against a collapsed floor. This is a live example of exactly what ISSB disclosure standards exist to prevent: data without context.

Bangladesh removed the 58.6% import duty on solar equipment and made solar power tax-free until 2035 — the strongest fiscal push for renewable energy in the country’s history. But in the same budget, government spending on energy infrastructure fell by 23%. Solar is now cheaper to buy. The bigger question is whether Bangladesh is still investing enough to power the transition at scale.

Bangladesh's FY27 climate budget: Tk 51,746 crore. Up 25.57% from FY26. But 75.2% — Tk 38,906 crore — goes to flood control, embankments, and coastal protection. The Climate Change Trust Fund received Tk 100 crore. That is 0.2% of the climate budget. A growing budget that is structurally weighted toward defending what exists rather than building what is needed is not a climate strategy. It is organised retreat.
