The government has initiated moves to correct the system to calculate national data in oder to avoid the repetition of the shock after the central bank reported a massive statistical mismatch linked to exports.
As part of the process, it decided to introduce a platform to publish real-time data on the country’s sales in global markets in order to ensure data accuracy and make policies evidence-based.
The primary decision of putting in place the live data platform was taken at a meeting at the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB) in Dhaka yesterday.
Representatives from the EPB, the Bangladesh Bank, the National Board of Revenue (NBR), the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics, and the Bangladesh Trade and Tariff Commission participated in the meeting.
