Electronics industry in Bangladesh

Since 1990, advanced products like computers, cordless telephones, satellite TV signal-receiving equipment, etc., started to be assembled, and some spare parts also began to be manufactured.

Since 1994, after Bangladesh's integration into the free market agreement, all kinds of commodities, including electronic products, began to be imported freely, which created a competitive environment.
