Bangladesh’s inflation rate rose to 9.04% in April, driven by the global impact of the United States–Israel attack on Iran and the resulting war situation.
The inflation rate was 8.71% in March.
Although inflation slightly declined on a year-on-year basis—down from 9.17% in April 2025—month-on-month pressure increased.
The latest inflation report was released today (6 May) by the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS).
According to the report, food inflation edged up to 8.39% in April from 8.24% in March. Meanwhile, non-food inflation rose more sharply to 9.57%, compared to 9.09% in the previous month.
In comparison, in April last year, food and non-food inflation stood at 8.63% and 9.61% respectively.
