The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has projected Bangladesh’s GDP growth to reach around 4.9% in the current fiscal year—slightly higher than last year’s 3.97%, but still below the government’s 5.5% target. According to the IMF’s World Economic Outlook 2025, inflation, which had declined in recent months, is likely to rise again due to higher commodity prices. Economic activity and import costs are also expected to increase, widening the current account deficit as dollar spending outpaces earnings. Despite these challenges, the IMF predicts steady growth over the next few years, reaching 6.5% by 2029–30. Bangladesh’s current account deficit, once 4% of GDP in 2021–22, has since dropped to 1.4% in 2023–24, though further pressure on foreign reserves remains likely.

IMF: Bangladesh’s GDP Growth to Reach Nearly 5% Next Year

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has projected that Bangladesh’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate will slightly increase in the current fiscal year, while inflation—which has recently shown a downward trend—is expected to rise again. The IMF also noted that with greater economic activity, import spending will go up, leading to a wider current account deficit in terms of U.S. dollars. This means the government’s foreign currency expenditure will exceed its earnings.
