Abstract
This paper describes the official methodology to estimate poverty based on household per capita consumption in Bangladesh using the Household Income and Expenditure Survey 2016/17. The analysis discusses changes in the survey that may affect the comparability of poverty estimates across time and a series of robustness checks to the estimation. It also includes a short description on how the official income aggregate is estimated.
