DHAKA, June 2, 2025 (BSS) - The general point-to-point inflation rate in 
Bangladesh eased further in May, 2025 as it eased slightly to reach 9.05 
percent down from 9.17 percent in April, 2025.

According to the latest data from the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS), 
the slight decline was mainly driven by downtrend in both food and in non-

from 8.63 percent in April, 2025 the BBS data showed.
