1. From an economic point of view, has the move to a free trade regime in the textile industry been beneficial for Bangladesh? The move to a free trade regime in the textile industry has been beneficial for Bangladesh. Bangladesh prospered when other economies were not doing so well.

Bringing in more and more billions and billions through exports between 2006 and 2012, as mentioned in the book.2.
