Keeping busy
In this file photograph taken Dec. 11, a Bangladeshi worker goes through her daily routine at a textile factory in Ashulia, in the outskirts of Dhaka. Bangladesh's exports of knitwear to the US have more than doubled in the first six months after worldwide quotas for textile trade ended, leading to a sudden employment boom, industry officials said yesterday. Bangladesh knitwear makers, which account for 42 percent of the country's garment exports, were expected to shut factories after a global agreement limiting textile imports ended on Dec. 31, due to competition from rivals such as China.
