The Centre for policy Dialogue (CPD) is committed to advancing the development of Bangladesh by promoting participatory policy making, focusing on research and analyses, dialogues, and publications. From 1995, CPD’s flagship programme Independent Review of Bangladesh’s Development (IRBD) provides critical analyses of the macroeconomic performance. As a continuation of this, CPD launches a new monthly publication under the IRBD programme, Bangladesh Macroeconomic Pulse, starting from the month of July 2025.
The Pulse provides a broad overview of the contemporary macroeconomic landscape of Bangladesh. Each issue of the Pulse will track key economic correlates pertaining to national accounts, real economy, public finance, monetary sector, external sector, and feature a special focus of the month concerning significant policy debates, challenges, or data releases. The Pulse serves policymakers, stakeholders, and citizens to navigate the economic realities of Bangladesh.
