Tit for Tat?
There is finally a decision on minimum wage for RMG workers - BDT 5,300, a decision that BGMEA has recently accepted, although this is BDT 800 greater than their proposal of BDT 4,500. In lieu of their acceptance, BGMEA has made requests for favourable policies that outweigh the additional cost of BDT 800 by 23%.
Bangladesh in Numbers is extremely grateful to Zahid Hussain, Senior Economist of the World Bank, for the analysis used in this infographic.
