DHAKA, Feb 23,(V7N) - Bangladesh’s economic recovery remains fragile as persistent inflation and sluggish export performance tempered growth in the second quarter of FY26, according to the latest review by the Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Dhaka (MCCI).

The Review of Economic Situation in Bangladesh October–December 2025 (Q2 of FY26) reported modest expansion overshadowed by systemic pressures, despite gradual improvement in macroeconomic stability.

Growth was weighed down by weak exports, subdued private investment, and tight monetary policy. Inflation remained elevated, prompting continued credit tightening, which further constrained business activity.

On the positive side, strong remittance inflows supported foreign exchange reserves and helped maintain overall balance of payments stability, despite a widening trade deficit.
