Bangladesh’s overall inflation rate fell to 8.29% in August, its lowest level in more than three years, according to BBS data.
The figure is down from 8.55% in July and significantly lower than 10.49% recorded a year earlier.
Food inflation edged up slightly to 7.60% in August from 7.56% in July, while non-food inflation dropped from 9.38% to 8.90%.
Despite the decline, wage growth slowed to 8.15%, marking the 43rd consecutive month where wage increases lagged behind inflation—further straining low-income households.
