IMF Flags Sharp Slowdown in Bangladesh Economy After Hasina’s Ouster | Spotlight | N18G

Bangladesh’s economy slowed sharply, according to the IMF’s latest review, with growth dropping to 3.7% in FY2025 amid production disruptions caused by the student-led uprising that toppled former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Inflation remained high at 8.2% in October, while weak tax collection, fragile banks and slow reforms continued to strain the economy. Hasina, now in exile and facing trial in absentia, defended her legacy as the IMF urged major tax and financial-sector reforms. Interim leader Muhammad Yunus announced elections and a referendum for February as the country works to stabilise its economy and political landscape.
