Abstract: Abstract The post-budget placement in June in Bangladesh brings with itself an inundation of various scrutiny and assessment of the most crucial public policy document of the year. However, both ex-ante and ex-post oversight is an area where there has been a gaping hole for years. With analysis drawn from interviewing 52 stakeholders and review of relevant literature, the paper stocktakes the role of Bangladesh Parliament in the nation’s budgetary process. The paper elaborates the theoretical basis for selecting global indexes used to evaluate the parliament’s capacity of budget oversight. In fine, Jatiya Sangsad is a ‘budget-approving’ parliament dictated by the executive.
