Policy exposure

Foreign ownership and profit repatriation in a strategic input sector A multinational parent means dividend and royalty outflows in foreign currency, which matters for the balance of payments when reserves are tight. Source: analysis

Heavy reliance on imported clinker and energy inputs Bangladesh cement makers largely import clinker and limestone, so taka depreciation and gas/electricity tariff changes pass straight through to construction costs and inflation. Source: analysis

Overcapacity and price competition in the cement sector The industry runs well below installed capacity, squeezing margins of even efficient incumbents and raising the policy question of consolidation versus continued capacity buildout. Source: analysis
