Bangladesh’s consumer price index (CPI) fell to 9.94% in January from 10.89% in December, according to data released by the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) on Tuesday.
As a result, inflation in the country eased for the second consecutive month in January, driven by stable food prices following the arrival of winter vegetables.
Food inflation saw a notable decline, dropping to 10.72% in January from 12.92% in December.
The reduction comes as steady supply of seasonal vegetables helped stabilize prices.
However, non-food inflation edged up slightly, rising to 9.32% in January from 9.26% in December, indicating continued price pressures in other sectors.
In November, overall inflation hit 11.38%, marking the second-highest level in 14 years.
