Bangladesh’s overall inflation rate declined in June 2026, according to data released by the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) on Monday. The national point-to-point inflation fell to 9.16 percent, down from 9.42 percent in May, which had been the highest level in 16 months. The latest figures show a decline in both food and non-food inflation, offering some relief after months of elevated prices.

BBS reported that food inflation dropped by 0.46 percentage points to 8.60 percent in June, compared to 9.06 percent in May. Non-food inflation also eased slightly, falling by 0.10 percentage points to 9.61 percent from 9.71 percent. In rural areas, overall inflation decreased to 9.23 percent, while in urban areas it fell to 9.01 percent. Both regions experienced reductions in food and non-food inflation rates.

The data indicate a modest but broad-based easing of price pressures across Bangladesh, following a period of sustained inflationary pressure earlier in the year.
