The International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Friday projected Bangladesh’s gross domestic product (GDP) to rebound to 4.7 percent in the fiscal year 2026, following a period of economic slowdown.

The IMF said that with the implementation of policies to mobilise tax revenue and address financial sector vulnerabilities, growth is expected to gradually accelerate to around 6 percent over the medium term.

Inflation is projected to remain elevated at 8.9 percent in FY26 before moderating to approximately 6 percent in FY27, the fund added.
