BGMEA also announced the adoption of its audited accounts for the year 2022-2023 and approval of the budget for 2023-2024 during the AGM.

This announcement comes after the Forum Panel, which was a contender in the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) biennial elections, pledged to make buyers more accountable, while its rival Sammilito Parishad was keen to diversify exports by encouraging the use of non-cotton fibres.
