Bangla Press Desk: The Bangladesh Bank on Thursday tightened private sector credit growth in its newly unveiled monetary policy for the first half of FY2025-26, aiming to contain inflation and ensure macroeconomic stability.
As part of the cautious approach, the central bank has reduced the private sector credit growth target to 8%, down from the previous 9.8%.
Officials said the measure is intended to curb excess demand and rein in inflation, which fell to a 35-month low in June but still remains above the central bank’s desired range.
The policy also reinforces the central bank’s commitment to a market-based interest rate regime under the monetary targeting framework.
