Bangladesh’s consumer price inflation moderated to 9.16% year-on-year in June, marking a slight easing as the country concluded its 2025-26 fiscal year.
The deceleration was primarily driven by a slowdown in food price growth, which helped temper overall price pressures during the final month of the fiscal period.
The data, reported by The Daily Star, indicates that while inflation remains elevated, the trajectory softened compared to earlier in the year.
Food items, which typically carry significant weight in the consumer basket, saw reduced price momentum, contributing to the lower headline figure.
This development comes as global inflation trends show mixed signals.
In the eurozone, for instance, headline inflation fell to 2.8% year-on-year in June, dropping below the 3% threshold for the first time since April.
