Bangladesh Bank (BB) is going to unveil its flagship monetary policy statement (MPS) on Thursday for the rest six months of the current 2014-15 financial (FY15).
BB Governor Dr Atiur Rahman will announce the MPS at a press conference at the central bank headquarters at 2pm, reports BSS.
The central bank announced the MPS for the first half of the FY15 on July 26, 2014, focusing on bringing down the average inflation to 6.5% by the end of next June.
BB also expected 6.2 to 6.5% growth of GDP (gross domestic product) in the end of FY15 provided that there would be no disruption to the economy.
The inflation came down to 25-month low at 6.11% in December when the macro-economic situation remained largely favourable to BB for announcing a monetary policy stance in line with the previous ones.
The economy already achieved a 6.12% growth rate against all political odds when the per capita income rose to $1190.
The governor, however, pointed out some emerging downside risks from the ongoing political violence.
He told a conference of the BB's general managers early this week that the political violence would hinder the economic progress.
