Bangladesh’s macroeconomic outlook is fragile as it is increasingly facing three concurrent adverse external headwinds, including the Middle East crisis and the country’s impending graduation from the Least Developed Country category, said the Policy Research Institute (PRI) of Bangladesh today.
Uncertainty around US tariff policies is another factor that casts a shadow over the faster recovery prospects of the economy.“These shocks are feeding through energy prices, weakened trade flows, and supply chain disruptions, with broad economy-wide implications,” said PRI Principal Economist Ashikur Rahman while presenting a keynote on Monthly Macroeconomic Insights (MMI) at the PRI office in Dhaka.
