Analysis: 10 Million More People Have Fallen into Poverty in Just Three Months

-Dr. Mamunur Rashid

In April 2026, we told you from two experiments that about 100 million people have fallen below the poverty line. Also, if production decreases by 10%, about 20 million more people will be at risk.

Many new news stories have come to the market since June. It has been reported that about 40% of people have lost the ability to buy good food. A farmer bought an hilsa fish by selling three tons of rice – Prothom Alo.

The industrial sector has collapsed due to lack of gas supply. Many people have left the city and sent their families to the villages. The education sector is in darkness. The law and order situation is so bad that people are not safe in their own homes.

See how in just three months, nearly 10 million new people have fallen into poverty. And if production declines by more than 10% in the coming months, which is very likely, about 30 million more people will be added to this list.

If taken as a Poverty Multiplier, this new impoverishment of nearly 10 million people will have a long-term impact on social order and domestic production and other sectors.

Many of us don’t pay attention to this poverty news because not much is happening right in front of our eyes. Step outside your safety zone and see what the common people are going through.

60% of families affected by measles have become destitute. But many of us may not have noticed this because nothing is happening in front of us.

Again, if all the money goes to food, it will reduce spending in other sectors, which is a bad sign for the entire economy.
