Contractionary monetary policy alone can’t solve inflation woes
The Bangladesh Bank announced the second monetary policy of the current fiscal year on February 10, 2025. This was the second monetary policy for the fiscal year 2024-25 and the first policy under the interim government.

Why the US election matters to the world
A story from November 4. No, it's not a surreal or magical tale; it's a true story. I entered Karwan Bazar, the largest wholesale kitchen market in the capital of Bangladesh, Dhaka, around noon. Along both sides of the street, a number of impoverished, underprivileged, uneducated, and working-class people were selling vegetables. Suddenly, I overheard one of them speaking in their regional dialect, saying, “This time, Trump will win.” My ears perked up. An interesting discussion! I stopped and stood still. I saw a man in a worn-out vest, a lungi (traditional cloth worn around the waist), and barefoot, selling red spinach and malabar spinach. Another vendor, in a similar condition, nodded in agreement to what the first one said.
