DHAKA, Sept 7, 2025 (BSS) - The country's general point-to-point inflation rate eased to 8.29 percent in August 2025, down from 8.55 percent in July, according to the latest data from the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS).

This slight decline in inflation was mainly attributed to a drop in non-food inflation.

In June 2025, the general inflation rate stood at 8.48 percent.

The BBS data showed that point-to-point food inflation rose slightly to 7.60 percent in August, compared to 7.56 percent in July. On the other hand, non-food inflation dipped to 8.90 percent in August, down from 9.38 percent the previous month.

Inflation in both rural and urban areas also recorded slight decreases during the same period.
