Dhaka, June 11 (V7N) — Bangladesh's economy is projected to grow by 3.3 percent in the current fiscal year, according to the Global Economic Prospects report published by the World Bank on Tuesday (June 10).

The report highlights that last year’s political instability significantly affected the country’s economic performance. Heightened uncertainty, coupled with rising production costs, discouraged private sector investment, leading to slower economic activity.

Additionally, industrial production took a hit due to a decline in the import of capital goods, further weakening the country’s growth momentum.

Looking ahead, the World Bank forecasts that Bangladesh’s growth will recover to 4.9 percent in the upcoming fiscal year, with a further rise to 5.7 percent expected in the 2026-27 fiscal year.

The report also offers a cautiously optimistic outlook on inflation. Analysts believe inflation will gradually ease starting from the next fiscal year, which could allow the central bank to soften its monetary policy in stages, providing further support for economic recovery.
