Bangladesh Poverty and Equity Assessment 2025

Bangladesh achieved remarkable progress in reducing poverty between 2010 and 2022, lifting 34 million people out of poverty and improving access to electricity, education, and sanitation. However, since 2016, the pace of poverty reduction slowed, and economic growth became less inclusive. The Bangladesh Poverty and Equity Assessment 2025 highlights key trends: Between 2010-2022 extreme poverty reduced by half to 5.6%. Yet 62 million people remain vulnerable to falling back to poverty. The report identifies priorities for reducing poverty and inequality and call for a pro-poor, climate-resilient, and job-centric strategy to ensure sustainable and inclusive growth.
