2024
Bangladesh's overall score is lower than the average score of its region, income group, and the global average. There is ample room for improvement in its cigarette tax system.
Component Score
2024
Bangladesh scores mid-range in tax share and poorly in price, affordability change, and tax structure. Bangladesh would greatly benefit from increasing cigarette prices, reducing cigarette affordability, and improving tax structure.
Scores Over Time
Bangladesh's overall score increased before falling again between 2014 and 2022. The score rose slightly in 2024 due to increased tax share of cigarette price, but the country has not been able to reduce cigarette affordability since 2020.
