After showing a downward trend since December last year, inflation in the country has increased again after three months. In March of the current year, the inflation rate rose slightly to 9.35%, compared to 9.32% in February.

The updated inflation data, released by the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) on Tuesday, April 8, revealed this information.

While food inflation decreased to 8.93% in March (down from 9.24% in February), non-food inflation rose to 9.70% (up from 9.38% in February). Both rural and urban areas saw a slight decline in food inflation, while non-food inflation increased.

Although claims suggest vegetable prices have fallen, the market reality paints a completely opposite picture.
