State of the Bangladesh Economy in FY2023-24 (Second Reading)

Centre for Policy Dialogue

No 86, CPD Policy Brief from Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD)

Abstract: The CPD’s Second Reading of the FY2024–25 National Budget highlights weak revenue mobilisation, persistent high inflation, slow ADP implementation, and an overly optimistic macroeconomic framework. Structural challenges in power, energy, SMEs, health, and education underscore gaps between allocations and actual capacity. The review stresses the need for realistic budgeting, stronger taxation reforms, improved sectoral governance, and greater support for green and sustainable development.
