The World Bank has lowered Bangladesh’s GDP growth forecast for FY2025–26 to 4.6%, down 0.3 percentage points from its June projection, citing high inflation, weak exports, and sluggish investment.
While recent data shows signs of recovery, economists warn that sustaining growth remains challenging. The World Bank expects growth to rebound to 6.1% in FY27 if inflation eases, consumption rises, and post-election reforms are implemented.
