(MENAFN) Official data released showed that Bangladesh's inflation rate increased to 6.36 percent in July from June's 6.25 percent mainly due to soaring non-food costs.
A senior Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) official said non-food inflation soared last month due to Eid-ul-Fitr, the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, which was celebrated here on July 18.
The country's food inflation went down 25 basis points to reach 6.07 percent in July while in the same month the non-food increased 65 basis points to 6.8 percent, according to the BBS data.
