The March 2025 edition of BBF Monthly offers a comprehensive deep dive into the evolving global and domestic forces reshaping the business landscape. At the heart of this issue is a detailed exploration of Bangladesh’s key economic reform priorities, with a focus on policy measures required to enhance competitiveness, attract investment, and ensure sustainable growth. It also analyses how the country can leverage a weakening US dollar to gain ground in trade and investment positioning.
The global financial system is also under the spotlight as the magazine examines the resilience of international banking regulations in an increasingly fragmented world order, raising concerns about long-term financial stability and cross-border regulatory coherence.
In the world of commerce and innovation, this issue moves past the surface-level hype around AI to explore how top-performing companies are reimagining e-commerce with deeper data integration, automation, and personalised experiences. The magazine also compares leading AI models, offering a critical look at how technologies like Chatgpt, Qwen, and DeepSeek are evolving differently, each offering distinct strengths for enterprise use.
A new generation of performance marketing strategies is emerging, with connected TV (CTV) at the forefront. The issue highlights how CTV is transforming campaign reach and measurement in a privacy-conscious world. Complementing this, a special feature explores how deep learning is transforming digital advertising, enabling brands to achieve hyper-targeted precision in real-time.
On the sustainability and inclusion front, the issue presents compelling evidence of how digital financial inclusion, especially in underserved communities, is strengthening resilience against climate-related shocks. Additionally, it offers tools for businesses to evaluate the sustainability impact of their marketing events and calls for a shift toward regenerative design principles as a foundation for future innovation.
Crucially, the issue brings attention to the often-overlooked economic impact of women’s health, revealing how gaps in healthcare access and support are silently costing billions in lost productivity and economic output.
Finally, a notable tech milestone is covered as Starlink’s rollout in Bangladesh opens up new opportunities for connectivity in rural and underserved regions, bringing digital transformation closer to home.
With wide-ranging coverage across economics, technology, workplace transformation, and environmental responsibility, the March 2025 issue of BBF Monthly delivers essential insights for forward-thinking professionals navigating today’s multidimensional challenges.
The publication cover was designed by the country’s most prolific visual artist Ms. Nazia Andaleeb Preema, Director & Creative Editor, Bangladesh Brand Forum.
