The government has decided to keep the existing export incentive and cash assistance rates unchanged in various sectors in the second half of the current FY26 (January 1 to June 30, 2026). As a result, the rate at which the incentives were given to exporters from July 1 to December 31, 2025, will remain effective for the next six months. A directive in this regard was issued by the Monitoring Cell of the Finance Division of the Ministry of Finance on Wednesday (January 7). The directive states that the export incentive or cash assistance rates have not been changed in any new sector in the second half of the current fiscal year. The letter signed by Finance Division Director Mohammad Sohrab Hossain mentioned that the government's decision will be effective immediately and will remain in force until June 30, 2026.
