DHAKA, March 8, 2026 (BSS) - The country's general point-to-point inflation 
rate reached 9.13 percent in February, 2026, slightly up from 8.58 percent in 
January, 2026, according to the latest data from the Bangladesh Bureau of 
Statistics (BBS).

This slight increase in inflation was mainly attributed to an uptrend in both

9.30 percent in February, 2026 compared to 8.29 percent in January, 2026.
