Consumer price inflation, annual % FP.CPI.TOTL.ZG

Overview
Bangladesh's inflation rate stood at 10.03% in 2025, a decline of +0.44pp from 2024. The IMF projects 10.03% by 2025. Bangladesh ranked 20th globally.
Bangladesh’s inflation rate has risen to 10.03 % in 2025, placing the country 20th in the world according to World Bank data, and marking a notable increase from the 2.01 % trough recorded in 2001. The upward trajectory contrasts sharply with the all‑time peak of 14.94 % reached in 1981, suggesting that while inflation remains elevated, it is still below the historic high. Over the 46‑year series, Bangladesh’s price growth has been more volatile than that of peers such as Kazakhstan, which posted 11.38 % in the same year, yet lower than Ukraine’s 12.64 % and comparable to Liberia’s 9.82 %. The recent surge reflects tighter global commodity markets, domestic supply constraints, and fiscal pressures, indicating that without decisive monetary tightening or supply‑side reforms, inflation could persist near current levels, though a gradual easing is possible if external shocks subside.
