DHAKA, Oct 16, 2025 (BSS) - The business climate in Bangladesh showed signs of slight stabilization during the last fiscal year 2024-25 (FY25), according to the latest Bangladesh Business Climate Index (BBX) analysis.
    
The BBX score reached 59.69 for 2024-25, which was 58.75 at the previous fiscal year 2023-24.

This slight rebound suggests some stabilization, particularly in supporting macro foundations, and is linked to incremental policy measures and adjustments made at the firm level. 

The MCCI and the Policy Exchange Bangladesh jointly prepared the BBX.The BBX is based on 11 pillars - starting a business, access to land, availability of regulatory information, infrastructure, labour regulation, dispute resolution, trade facilitation, paying taxes, technology adoption, access to finance and environmental regulations and standards. 

According to the report, the highest-performing pillars for 2024-25 were infrastructure and labour Regulation, indicating relatively strong support systems for businesses. Infrastructure specifically remained the highest-performing pillar overall.

Signs of improvement were observed in several specific pillar areas. Notably, access to finance rebounded from the previous year, reflecting a slight or partial recovery in financial support available to enterprises.

Other pillars showing improvement include starting a business, access to land, dispute resolution, and paying taxes.

Despite being high performers, scores for both infrastructure and labour regulation saw a drop compared to the previous year. 

Declines were also observed for several other crucial pillars, including availability of regulatory information, trade facilitation, technology adoption, and environmental regulations and standards. 

Among the analysed metrics, Environmental Regulations and Standards were listed among the lowest scoring pillars.
