Expressing the hope of getting GSP facility, the Commerce Adviser said, America is positive about giving GSP facility to Bangladesh.

Stating that the export income has increased by 12.4 percent in the last financial year, he said that from now on, initiatives have been taken to ensure that there are no more discrepancies in the export data.
