Bangladesh's interim govt sets FY26 GDP growth target at 5.5%

Finance adviser Salehuddin Ahmed announced the target in a pre-recorded speech telecast today, while unveiling the proposed national budget for the next fiscal.

The target is a bit higher than the revised 5.25-per cent growth for FY25.

Global lenders, including the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the Asian Development Bank, have, however, predicted that the country's growth would remain below 5 per cent.
