The Belt and Road Initiative's Influence on Bangladesh's Textile Sector: Dynamics of International Trade and Apparel Merchandising

China's ambitious global trade and infrastructure strategy represents a number of opportunities for the South Asian countries. The RMG sector of Bangladesh can be benefited by it throughout boosting market access, improving logistics, and encouraging foreign investment. In light of these, the authors use partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to investigate potential effects of the One Belt One Road (OBOR) policy on trade flows and economic integration in Bangladesh's RMG industry. The study looks at how the improved logistic networks brought about by OBOR initiative can increase the sector's productivity and market access internationally. It also points out important issues like the necessity for more advancement in infrastructure, technological improvements, and resolving possible trade imbalances. It takes into account the social and environmental issues brought on by the sector's promising growth. This research paper offers strategic insights for exploiting the effort effectively while avoiding associated risks by examining both the prospects and problems connected with OBOR. The initiative is empirically seen as advantageous for the advancement of Bangladeshi textiles and infrastructure development in general, more specifically in exports. The results are intended to assist stakeholders in maximizing growth prospects and preserving their competitive advantage in modern clothing industry.中国颇具雄心的全球贸易与基础设施战略，为南亚各国带来了诸多发展机遇。孟加拉国成衣制造（Ready-Made Garment, RMG）产业可借此获得提振，具体路径包括拓展市场准入、优化物流体系以及吸引外商投资。鉴于此，本研究采用偏最小二乘结构方程模型（Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling, PLS-SEM），探究一带一路（One Belt One Road, OBOR）政策对孟加拉国成衣制造产业贸易流量与经济一体化的潜在影响。本研究分析了一带一路倡议所完善的物流网络，如何提升该产业的生产效率与国际市场准入能力。同时，研究也指出了若干关键议题：包括进一步推进基础设施建设、开展技术升级，以及应对潜在的贸易失衡问题。研究还兼顾了该产业强劲增长所引发的社会与环境议题。本研究通过梳理一带一路倡议相关的机遇与挑战，为高效利用该倡议、规避伴随风险提供了战略层面的参考见解。从实证层面来看，该倡议对孟加拉国纺织产业及整体基础设施发展均具有利好作用，在出口领域的促进效应尤为显著。本研究结果旨在帮助各方利益相关者最大化挖掘增长机遇，并维持其在现代服装产业中的竞争优势。
