INTRODUCTION
This is our immense pleasure to inform that with active co-operation of the government of Bangladesh, Exporters Association is playing a pivotal role in the Export Horizon of the country. Exporters Association of Bangladesh is an Apex Association for the exporters, incorporated by the government of Bangladesh in order to formulate policy concerning export trade, oversee the problems, monitor existing situation of export, seek government assistance for export trade, submit views for inclusion in the national budget, identify national and international barriers and suggest measures for addressing the bottlenecks & impediments for smooth & orderly running of the export trade of the country.
It is worth-mentioning here that about 50 (fifty) Associations related to and involved in export trade, are the corporate members of the EAB.

We have the pleasure to inform that Mr. Abdus Salam Murshedy has taken-over the charge as an elected President of Exporters Association of Bangladesh (EAB). Mr. Murshedy is one of the Leading Industrialists of the Country having enterprises in Textile, RMG, Real Estate, Banking, IT and Freight Forwarding Sectors. Mr. Murshedy is the immediate past President of BGMEA, the largest foreign exchange earning body, a living-legend of Soccer and Senior Vice President of Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF).
Being a highly enterprising personality, he is trying to mobilize his endeavors to increase export earning. The main focus of his endeavors is to hasten accelerated development of the neglected Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs) so as to enable them to enhance the business capability in the export trade in particular. As you know, the foreign exchange earning through export trade and remittances of the Non-Resident Bangladeshis (NRBs) is the life-line of Bangladesh economy. To this end in view EABs all-out efforts are directed towards achieving the highest possible earning in foreign exchange.
It is worth-mentioning here that about 50 (fifty) Associations related to and involved in export trade, are the corporate members of the EAB. We have firm belief that during the tenure of the present benign government of Bangladesh, EABs humble voyage to the perilous and challenging path of the export will find light in quest of achieving Countrys foreign exchange earning to the tune of 30 Billion U.S dollar by 2013.
We would, therefore, ardently expect your assistance and co-operation in the accomplishments of the chartered functions of the EAB under the dynamic leadership of Mr. Abdus Salam Murshedy for well-being of the economy in the days ahead.
