Overview
Bangladesh's gdp deflator stood at 8.02% in 2025, a rise of +1.13pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 8.02% by 2025. Bangladesh ranked 59th globally.
Bangladesh’s GDP deflator has hovered around 8 % in recent years, registering 8.02 % in 2025, which places the country 59th in the world and just below the Slovak Republic’s 8.01 % and above Niger’s 8.07 % in the same ranking. Over the 65‑year series the index has shown extreme volatility, surging to an all‑time peak of 80.57 % in 1975 before collapsing to a historic trough of –17.63 % in 1976, a swing that reflects the profound macro‑economic instability of the mid‑1970s. Since the early 1990s the deflator has settled into a narrow band between roughly 6 % and 9 %, indicating a modest but persistent inflationary environment that aligns with Bangladesh’s gradual structural transformation and export‑oriented growth strategy. The latest figure suggests that price pressures remain modestly elevated; however, continued improvements in productivity and monetary policy coordination could steer the deflator toward a more stable, lower‑inflation path in the coming decade.
