Inflation came down slightly to 6.04 percent in October riding on the decline in food prices, official figures showed.
Last month, general inflation decreased 8 basis points from September's 6.12 percent, according to the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS), which released the data yesterday.
One of the major contributors was a drop in food inflation, which fell 25 basis points to 7.62 percent last month after reaching a 38-month high of 7.87 percent in September.
