Abstract

This paper used the Balassa Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) Index and the Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient (rs) to analyze the situation of competition and complementariness in the textile and apparel (T&A) industry between Bangladesh and China in inter-national trade. Data of eleven key prod-ucts of the industry in 2000-2009 was analyzed. The study explored that in six of those eleven products competition ex-ists and in five remaining products complementariness exists between Bangladesh and China in global market. Consequently, several solutions were proposed to help improve the competitiveness of Bangladeshi T&A industry.
