About this indicator
The inflation rate tracks how fast consumer prices are rising, measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics publishes the headline figure monthly, a few days after the reference month ends; food prices carry a heavy weight in the Bangladesh basket, so food-price shocks move the headline quickly.
The hero figure is the latest monthly headline print, labelled with the month it actually covers — not the month it was published. The long-run chart uses the World Bank’s annual average series, which smooths the monthly volatility into a year-by-year picture.
