Inflation once again grazed double digits in October, advancing 30 basis points to 9.93 percent despite the government’s repeated assurances of measures to rein it in.

The government has kept borrowing from the Bangladesh Bank as commercial banks can’t come up with much-needed funds owing to the liquidity crunch. 

Inflation rises in the month of May to 5.63 per cent, mainly because of a rise in the prices of commodities of non-food items in the market.
