Bangladesh - Repo Rate
The Bangladesh repo rate held steady at 10% in July 2025 and continued at 10% in August 2025. The Bangladesh Bank maintained this policy to focus on inflation control. Policy rates will only change if inflation consistently drops below 7 percent. The central bank also set a lower private sector credit growth target of 7.2% for the first half of FY2025-26. This reflects actions to manage liquidity and inflation expectations due to ongoing price stability concerns. Bangladesh's record low repo rate was 4.75% in July 2020 and record high was 10% in October 2024.
