Bangladesh economy & Keya operational activities

During the FY 2006 the Bangladesh economy achieved a higher growth underpinned mainly by a strong post flood recovery in agriculture sector and notable expansion in manufacturing activities, despite facing excessive price hike of oil and some other importable in the international market. Economic growth was also aided by strong growth in export and remittance from non resident Bangladeshis. Real GDP growth FY 2006 was 607 percent, moderately higher than 6 percent of the FY 2005. Export earnings recorded a significantly higher growth of 21.6 percent. Remittance from non-resident Bangladeshis increasing substantially by 24.8 percent. Industrial sector contributed about 28 percent of total GDP of Bangladesh. Our foreign exchange reserve crossed us$ 4 billion mark for the first time at the beginning of the year 2007mainly due to significant inflow of remittance and export growth. Export continued its roaring march as usually despite there was an ongoing political crisis since the very beginning of the year. Total export crossed US$ 11 billion in 2006 against all odds at home abroad.

Moreover, most of the year has observed continuous price hike of essential items, especially fresh food items seriously affecting life and facing unavoidable hazard due to continuous increasing living standard against earnings of the common people. This had obviously negative impact on disposable income of general masses, whose expenditures on toiletries would decline as a resultant impact. This resulted negative impact on the sales volume of the company.
