Abstract: Bangladesh is a developing country with a population of over 160 million people and a GDP of $437.42 billion USD (2023). The country is reeling from inflation that is forecast to be about 9-10% this year. The increase stems mainly from global disruptions, dependence on imports and a weakening currency. Although the government has endeavored to contain inflation with more restrictive monetary policies and subsidies, these are not inclusive due to budget constraints and slow growth of the economy. Structural reforms are also required to promote local production as opposed to relying on imports. If global circumstances improve, inflation may fall back to something similar to 5-6%. A well-coordinated strategy is key to managing inflation, fostering growth, and ensuring long-term stability.
