The World Bank has projected Bangladesh’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth at 4.6 percent in the next fiscal year, signalling a more cautious outlook for the economy amid mounting external pressures.
In its latest Global Economic Prospects update released on Thursday -- the same day the finance minister presented the national budget in parliament -- the Washington-based global lender also warned that growth in the outgoing 2025–26 fiscal year could weaken further than previously expected, largely due to the economic fallout from the Iran war.
