Food inflation has witnessed a robust growth in March amid the ongoing political unrest.
Supply-chain disruption across the country resulted 6.37% food inflation last month from the previous month's 6.11%.
In turn, headline inflation during the last month has gone up to 6.27% from 6.14% in February, according to a statistic of Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS).
Increasing inflation would shrink down real return on deposits with banks, especially at a time when deposit rate in the economy is at a declining trend, said an analyst.
Weighted average deposit rate of all banks is 7.19% in February while 12 month average of headline inflation was 6.67% during the same period.
Previously Bangladesh Bank in his latest monetary statement, has set an inflation (12-month average) target at 6.5%.
