Bangladesh’s overall inflation increased to 9.04 percent in April, up from 8.71 percent in March, according to the latest report released on Wednesday by the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS). The rise has been attributed to the impact of ongoing tensions in the Middle East and global economic uncertainty, which have affected domestic markets.
The BBS data show that food inflation climbed to 8.39 percent in April from 8.24 percent in March, intensifying pressure on consumers as prices of essential goods continued to rise. Non-food inflation also showed an upward trend, reaching 9.57 percent compared to 9.09 percent in the previous month. Increases in housing rent, fuel, and transport costs were identified as key contributors to the non-food inflation rise.
A year-on-year comparison indicates that overall inflation in April 2025 was slightly higher at 9.17 percent, with food inflation at 8.63 percent and non-food inflation at 9.61 percent, suggesting a modest improvement in the current year’s figures despite persistent cost pressures.
