The World Bank has maintained its forecast of 3.3% GDP growth for Bangladesh in FY2024-25, citing political instability and financial challenges as key factors. Earlier, in January, the projection was 4.1%. The Bank also revised the 2025-26 forecast to 4.9%, down from 5.4%. Meanwhile, the BBS estimates 3.97% growth for FY2024-25. Other global institutions like the IMF and ADB have also lowered their growth outlooks for Bangladesh, reflecting ongoing inflation, unrest, and weakening financial conditions.
The World Bank has kept its growth forecast for Bangladesh unchanged at 3.3 percent. This projection was first made in the report titled South Asia Development Update: Taxing Times, published on April 23.
