Bangladesh: Gross savings (current LCU)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Bangladesh's gross savings (current LCU) rose 2 trillion on 2024 (from 17.2 trillion to 19.2 trillion).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +563.21 billion and a typical year strayed about 598.7 billion from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 2.4 standard deviations above that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 2.18 trillion in 2023 and the biggest yearly fall was 19.57 billion in 1984. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 1.25 trillion a year. A straight line explains 98% of the movement over 10 observed years.

Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.

A straight-line projection, tested first

Extending that straight line gives about 21.89 trillion for 2028. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2023 to 2025 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 1.84 trillion, against 3.87 trillion for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.

What this measures

Savings is an amount that represents the part of disposable income (adjusted for the change in pension entitlements) that is not spent on final consumption. Gross savings are calculated as gross national income less total consumption, plus net transfers. This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This series is expressed in local currency units.
