The first half of 2024 unfolded under the autocratic regime of the Sheikh Hasina-led Awami League government, which systematically undermined the economy through rampant misappropriation of public resources. The interim government, which assumed power three days after the fall of the Awami League regime, inherited a fragile economy plagued by high inflation, declining foreign exchange reserves, stagnant private investment, mounting debt, inefficiencies in public project implementation, and a weak financial sector.
After nearly five months of the interim government's leadership, public expectations for an economic turnaround remain high, particularly regarding issues directly impacting livelihoods. While some positive changes are becoming evident, most economic challenges persist, complicating the path to recovery. Addressing these issues effectively in 2025 will require prioritising urgent actions.
