Bangladesh – Steady growth, Economic outlook.
We expect economic growth to inch up to 6.6% in FY16 from 6.5% in FY15 (year ending in June). Bangladesh is entering 2016 with sound macroeconomic fundamentals, including slower inflation, a stable exchange rate, a manageable fiscal deficit, and a balance-of-payments surplus over the past year. There have been no significant political strikes since March 2015, which is supportive of economic growth. On-the-ground feedback suggests a low chance of political disruptions on the scale seen in H2-FY15.
