一 | Dhaka, Oct 20 (UNI) Due to the Russia-Ukraine war, the world economy is in turmoil. This war has a direct impact on the European Union (EU) countries. In spite of such a situation, the garment industry of Bangladesh is giving hopeful news.
In the seven months from January to July this year, Bangladesh's garment exports to EU countries increased by 43.38 per cent. And EU imports from the rest of the world increased by 24.74 per cent. Accordingly, Bangladesh is at the top of all in the growth of garment exports to the EU.
Such information has emerged in the import statistics published by the European statistical agency "Eurostat EU".
According to the statistics, in the first seven months of 2022, Bangladesh's clothing exports to the EU countries were $13.16 billion. Compared to the same period of last year, exports have increased by 43.38 per cent. In the first seven months of last year, Bangladesh exported garments to the EU worth $9.76 billion.
According to Eurostat, EU imports from the world grew by 22.7 percent at this time in 2022 compared to imports up to July 2021. Among them, EU countries' clothing imports from China in the last seven months reached $14.93 billion with a growth of 23.52 per cent.
Turkey is in the next position. The country exported $7 billion worth of goods. Through this, the country is positioned after Bangladesh. Through this amount of exports, the country's growth has increased by 17.32 per cent.
According to data, India has exported $3.17 billion worth of garments to the EU in the first seven months of this year. Through this, the country's growth has increased by 26.78 per cent.
Vietnam's exports to the EU dropped significantly during this period. In the first seven months of this year, the country exported $2.3 billion worth of apparel products. During this period, the country's growth increased by 22.78 per cent.
Other countries with significant growth include Cambodia 41.50 per cent, Indonesia 30.86 per cent, Pakistan 28 per cent, Morocco 16.67 per cent and Sri Lanka 14 per cent.
UNI MAZ SY。 (ECNS) -- The rapid growth of artificial intelligence is driving a new wave of electricity demand, putting nuclear power back in the spotlight. China, which has the world's largest nuclear power capacity under construction, is accelerating the development of nuclear energy to provide reliable, low-carbon electricity for its growing economy and emerging AI industries. According to the National Energy Administration, China has 112 nuclear units in operation or approved, with a combined capacity of 125 million kilowatts — the highest globally. Its nuclear capacity under construction also ranks first worldwide. As China continues to expand its nuclear power fleet, which province leads the country in nuclear energy? And why is China stepping up investment in the sector? Guangdong Province has emerged as China's nuclear leader. In the first half of 2026, its nuclear generation reached 57.31 billion kilowatt‑hours, supported by a complete industry chain spanning design, equipment manufacturing, construction and operation. Guangdong has also developed a complete nuclear power industrial chain spanning design, equipment manufacturing, construction and operation. The State Council recently approved the third phase of the Taipingling Nuclear Power Plant in Guangdong, marking another major step in the province's nuclear expansion following the approval of five nuclear power projects, including the Taishan project, last year. With major nuclear power bases including Daya Bay, Ling'ao, Yangjiang, Taishan and Taipingling located along its coastline, Guangdong is expected to see nuclear power generation rise significantly as new units come online, helping meet growing electricity demand from industries such as AI and data centers. Fujian Province, meanwhile, has the highest share of nuclear power in its electricity generation mix. Nuclear energy accounted for 28.1% of the province's total power generation, according to the NEA, meaning nearly three in every 10 kilowatt-hours generated in Fujian came from nuclear power. With major nuclear power bases in Ningde, Fuqing and Zhangzhou, nuclear energy has become a key pillar of Fujian's power supply. The expansion of nuclear power is being driven in part by rapidly growing electricity demand in the age of artificial intelligence. In the United States, major technology companies are also turning to nuclear energy to secure reliable, low-carbon electricity. Microsoft has signed a 20-year agreement linked to the restart of the Three Mile Island nuclear plant, while Google has announced plans to procure power from small modular reactors. As AI development drives electricity demand higher, the convergence of artificial intelligence and nuclear power is beginning to reshape the global energy landscape. China is also part of this growing "AI + nuclear power" trend. As the clean energy transition gathers pace, the country's expanding nuclear power hubs are providing a stable source of electricity to support both its digital economy and broader green transformation.
