The Business Standard is a Bangladeshi daily newspaper published in English and Bengali. The newspaper was founded by The Horizon Media and Publication Ltd and is based in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. The newspaper provides detailed analysis of the economic and financial affairs of Bangladesh.[3] The Business Standard also provides selective analysis from various publications including Agence France-Presse, Bloomberg, Reuters, Project Syndicate and Hindustan Times.[2]

Academics Abdul Kabil Khan and Anna Shnaider wrote about The Business Standard's emphasis on infographics to attract and retain readers and help them quickly understand complicated topics. They also described the newspaper's effective use of what in 2021 was a relatively new story format for Bangladesh: team produced, long-form pieces incorporating multimedia elements such as infographics and photos.[4]
