Why the Bangladeshi Taka Held Ground
While Pakistan battled serial devaluations and emergency interest-rate hikes, Bangladesh’s Taka demonstrated relative resilience due to structural—not cosmetic—factors:
1. Export-Anchored Growth
Bangladesh’s RMG (Ready-Made Garments) sector created steady dollar inflows. Unlike speculative borrowing, exports insulated the Taka from sudden external shocks.
2. Women as Economic Infrastructure
Female labor participation—especially in textiles—was not a social slogan; it was macroeconomic policy. This widened the tax base, stabilized consumption, and reduced dependency ratios.
