Bangladesh’s overall inflation rate declined slightly in June 2026, standing at 9.16 percent on a point-to-point basis, according to data released by the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) on Monday. This marks a 0.26 percentage point drop from May’s 9.42 percent, though inflation has remained above 9 percent for three consecutive months. In March, the rate was 8.71 percent.
The BBS report shows that both food and non-food inflation decreased in June. Food inflation fell to 8.60 percent from 9.06 percent in May, while non-food inflation eased to 9.61 percent from 9.71 percent. Inflation declined in both rural and urban areas, with rural inflation at 9.23 percent and urban inflation at 9.01 percent. Analysts attribute the persistent high inflation to rising prices of essential goods and fuel, which continue to pressure low- and middle-income households.
BBS data also indicate that the 12-month average inflation from July 2025 to June 2026 was 8.68 percent, down from 10.03 percent in the previous year, suggesting a modest improvement in annual inflation trends.
