PPRC releases State of the Real Economy 2025 Baseline Survey
The Power and Participation Research Centre (PPRC) today officially released the State of the Real Economy (SORE) 2025 Baseline Survey. Built from high-frequency panel tracking of 3,000 households, the survey provides empirical mappings of post-shock economic recovery trends across both rural and high-density urban settlements.
Key findings point to a structural deterioration in household-level safety margins, driven by continuous food inflation and limited wage growth. Average household surplus declined to just BDT 70 per month, leaving the vulnerable non-poor exposed to extreme risk.

Calls on government policy channels to review proposed social safety net targeting frameworks. Empirical tracking warns that rigid administrative filters systematically omit high-risk near-poor populations.
