updates: Ethiopia's government is working to combat inflation and rising consumer prices by fine-tuning the Birr currency. The National Bank of Ethiopia has implemented monetary tactics to reduce inflation rates. The fragility of the export sector adds to inflationary pressures. The IMF and World Bank have provided financial support to Ethiopia. The devaluation of the Ethiopian Birr has immediate, short-term, and long-term implications, including inflationary pressures, exchange rate fluctuations, improved foreign currency access, economic rejuvenation, and export competitiveness. The devaluation may affect the government's capacity to service its dollar-denominated debt. The agricultural and manufacturing sectors may see changes in their global market positions. Public perception and wise governance are crucial in shaping societal implications. Monetary and fiscal policy adjustments are necessary to soften the impact of devaluation. The devaluation presents both challenges and opportunities for Ethiopia's economic growth and modernization. The government's ability to balance these factors and implement effective policies will determine the outcome.

updates: The annual inflation rate in Bangladesh last month was 9.72%, a slight decline from 9.89% in the previous month of May. The Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) attributes the rising inflation to the tightening of money supply, while the International Monetary Fund (IMF) attributes it to the depreciating Bangladesh Taka against the US dollar. The cost of imported fossil fuels continues to rise due to the volatility of the forex market, leading to a knock-on effect on domestically produced commodities. Tightening of money supply has a negative impact on the poor and the informal economy, eroding real incomes and discouraging investment. The Bangladesh Bank aims to push down the inflation rate to 7.5% in the medium term through further tightening of money supply. However, there are doubts about the effectiveness of this approach. Bangladesh has been an exception in combating inflation using monetary tools, and policymakers should consider a mix of measures to control inflation. The target for this fiscal year is to achieve a 6.5% inflation rate
