EconoInsights_Monthly Economic and Capital Market Overview_May 2025
Bangladesh’s economy is navigating a challenging landscape, with provisional GDP growth for FY’25 estimated at a sluggish 3.97%, closely aligning with forecasts from global development partners. This reflects a slowdown in economic activity amid a post-regime transition; while prevailing political uncertainty continues to weigh on the country’s recovery process. Despite these challenges, the economy is showing signs of gradual recovery, supported by rising exports, increased remittances and stabilized foreign exchange reserves that have eased pressure on the country's balance of payments. Additionally, the country anticipates significant foreign funding inflows, including USD 1.3 billion by June 2025 following a staff-level agreement with the IMF, along with approximately USD 2 billion from the ADB, World Bank, and JICA as budget support. Nonetheless, persistent socio-political unrest, the potential impact of US reciprocal tariffs following the three-month pause and post-budget impact on the broader investment climate remain major concerns.
