Bangladesh's inflation rate eased to 8.48 percent in June, down from 9.05 percent in May, reaching its lowest level in more than two years.
This is the first time in 27 months that inflation has dipped below the 9 percent mark, according to the latest data by the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS).
The decline was driven by a drop in both food and non-food prices.
Food inflation fell to 7.39 percent in June, compared to 8.59 percent the previous month, bringing some much-needed relief to households struggling with the high cost of daily essentials.
Non-food inflation also edged down slightly, to 9.37 percent from 9.42 percent in May.
