For the first time in its history, Bangladesh’s per capita income has reached $2,820, the highest on record, according to preliminary data for the fiscal year 2024–25 from the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS). This marks an increase of $82 from last year’s $2,738. The previous highest was $2,793 in FY 2021–22. BBS clarified that the per capita income figure does not represent individual earnings but is derived from the country's total national income—including domestic production and remittances—divided by the population.
