State of the Bangladesh Economy in FY2024-25 (First Reading)

Centre for Policy Dialogue

No 85, CPD Policy Brief from Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD)

Abstract: The report reveals mounting macroeconomic pressures in FY2024–25, marked by sluggish revenue growth, prolonged rural inflation, and volume-driven exports despite improved value retention. Private investment remains disrupted, Aman production has fallen causing rice shortages, and the power–energy sector is trapped in a debt-induced crisis. Alarming banking sector stress persists, with NPLs far exceeding key social sector budgets.
