Real GDP growth measures how much Bangladesh’s economy expanded over a year after stripping out inflation. It is the single most-watched summary of economic momentum: it drives budget revenue assumptions, credit-rating reviews, and the LDC-graduation conversation.
The series here is the World Bank’s constant-price growth series for Bangladesh, which runs from independence in 1971 to the latest completed year. Government estimates published mid-year (BBS provisional figures) often differ from the final World Bank number — this page always shows the source and vintage of the figure it reports.
