ADB: Bangladesh's economy to grow 3.9% in FY25, 5.1% in FY26: ADB

The Asian Development Bank expects Bangladesh's economy to grow by just 3.9 per cent in this fiscal, before rising to 5.1 per cent in FY26. The 12-month average inflation in the country is expected to rise further to 10.2 per cent in FY25, before easing to 8 per cent in the next fiscal, it noted. Enduring inflation is a significant hurdle due to market inefficiency, an ABD report observed.
