CPD’s dialogue on 365 days of the interim government assessed how political transition and economic management are intersecting in Bangladesh. Participants noted that, despite some stabilising steps, inflation, weak private investment, banking fragilities and energy insecurity continue to weigh on the economy. Speakers highlighted the need to curb corruption, improve the investment climate, and pursue deeper reforms in banking, labour standards, education and media governance. The discussion stressed that the remainder of the interim period should be used to protect low-income households, restore confidence in key institutions and leave a more stable, reform-ready economy for the next elected government.
