Bangladesh 91-Day Treasury Bill Rate

About this indicator

The 91-day treasury bill rate is the yield the government pays to borrow for three months, set at Bangladesh Bank’s weekly auctions. It is the benchmark short-term risk-free rate: banks price deposits and loans off it, and it transmits monetary policy into the wider economy.

A rising bill rate signals tighter money or heavier government borrowing; a falling one signals easing. Comparing it with the inflation rate shows whether short-term real returns are positive.
