The World Bank has maintained its forecast of 3.3% GDP growth for Bangladesh in FY2024-25, citing political instability and financial challenges as key factors. Earlier, in January, the projection was 4.1%. The Bank also revised the 2025-26 forecast to 4.9%, down from 5.4%. Meanwhile, the BBS estimates 3.97% growth for FY2024-25. Other global institutions like the IMF and ADB have also lowered their growth outlooks for Bangladesh, reflecting ongoing inflation, unrest, and weakening financial conditions.
