Gross savings as % of GDP NY.GNS.ICTR.ZS

Overview
Bangladesh's gross savings stood at 27.83% in 2025, a decline of +6.56% from 2024. The IMF projects 27.83% by 2025. Bangladesh ranked 41st globally.
Bangladesh’s gross savings ratio has risen sharply from a negative ‑0.84 percent in 1976, the lowest point in the 50‑year series, to a peak of 40.60 percent in 2012, before moderating to 27.83 percent in 2025, which places the country 41st globally. The ascent reflects sustained improvements in fiscal discipline, higher domestic investment and a gradual deepening of financial intermediation, while the post‑2012 decline coincides with expanding consumption and higher external debt servicing. Compared with peer economies, Bangladesh’s 2025 saving rate is slightly above Germany’s 26.69 percent and close to Luxembourg’s 27.01 percent, yet remains below Israel’s 28.23 percent and Hong Kong SAR’s 28.02 percent, highlighting a modest gap with more advanced savings cultures. The trajectory suggests that continued reforms in tax collection, pension scheme expansion and incentives for corporate retained earnings could stabilize or even raise the savings ratio, supporting future capital formation and growth.
