Bangladesh’s overall inflation increased marginally to 8.36% in September, up from 8.29% in August, according to data released by the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) on Monday (October 6).

Although the year-on-year rate has eased compared to 9.92% in September 2024, month-to-month figures indicate renewed upward pressure on prices.

Food inflation rose to 7.64% in September from 7.60% in August, while non-food inflation climbed to 8.98% from 8.90%.

Economists suggest that persistent non-food price pressures and supply-side constraints are keeping inflation above the government’s comfort level.
