A closer look at the evidence on the country’s economy reveals that the situation is far worse than previously anticipated, said the White Paper on State of the Bangladesh Economy.
The final draft of the document, which was submitted to the chief adviser today (1 December), calls for several actions in the areas of macroeconomic stabilisation, policy changes and institutional reforms.
Therefore, the document highlights the following seven critical areas of immediate concern.
(i) Rolling out an economic stabilisation programme based on the experience of the first few
months of the current regime
(ii) Delineating a framework for the forthcoming national budget (2025-26)
(iii) Proposal for a mid-term planning format (2025-27) guided by a robust evaluation of the
now postponed 8th Five-Year Plan (2020-25)
(iv) Identifying Priority Reform Domains
(v) Operationalising a robust transition strategy for LDC graduation
(vi) Accelerating fuller delivery of the SDGs
(vii) Hosting of a Forum for dialogue with Development Partners
