Every row is indexed to the last month complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that period had no data, or because the period cut it); Levels are per cent changes, rates are differences in pp; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates. Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. % change on a year earlier · Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics consumer price index via the IMF (CPI, all items, spliced across the bureau's base years by the IMF), national, change on the same month a year earlier · Bangladesh data · as of Sep 2026.
