BB rolls out monetary policy Jan 19
Bangladesh Bank is set to announce the monetary policy for the second half of current fiscal year on January 19.
The central bank has already finalised the half-yearly policy in discussions with different groups, including economists, business leaders and former governors, a BB official said.
BB Governor Atiur Rahman will announce the policy at a programme at the central bank's headquarters in the city.
The BB chief earlier indicated that the policy would have some specific directions to keep inflation within the fiscal target of 6.5 percent.
Experts have recently raised concern about the increasing food prices on both the domestic and the internal markets, which would eventually create high inflationary pressure on the economy.
