Abstract

The focus of the book is: firstly, to examine the export competitiveness of textile and apparel products of Bangladesh and Malaysia, using economic indicators like Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and Constant Market Share (CMS) analysis. The RCA calculations clearly show an increasing strength of comparative advantage to Bangladesh for the export of textile as well as apparel products. In the case of Malaysia, the RCA calculations also show an increasing strength of comparative advantage of the export performance ratio for the export of textile and apparel products. Regarding the export growth of selected textile and apparel products for both countries, the CMS results demonstrate that, in most cases, Malaysian shows better competitive performance than Bangladesh. In the case of apparel products, both countries show the negative export performance of commodity composition and market distribution effects. CMS analysis depicts that the competitiveness effects of both countries for these apparel products subsequently improved in general during the period 1992-1996 as compared to those periods of 1982-86 and 1987-91. The results of the shift-share analysis indicate that market opportunities for the export of textile and apparel products in Bangladesh are mainly offered by the USA, Canada, and EU countries. On the other hand, the USA, Canada, and EU countries have also been identified as potential markets for Malaysia for textile and apparel products.
