Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) released the periodic data on Monday. The end of the current fis-cal year is just a few days away. The BBS prepared this projection from an existing trend of the econom-ic situation.
BBS says that by the end of FY 2023-24, the provisional GDP growth will stand at 5.82 percent, which was 5.78 percent in the previous FY2022-23.
