Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal today placed a Taka 7,61,785 crore budget in Jatiya Sangsad for the next fiscal year (FY24) eyeing a 7.5 percent GDP growth rate with an expectation of keeping annual inflation at around 6.0 percent.
“Inspired by the patriotism of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina as well as by her genuine love and responsibility towards the people of the country and unwavering support of the people, we can confidently say that a hunger and poverty-free, knowledge-based and developed ‘Smart Bangladesh’ by 2041 is not a distant dream. Bangladesh will march ahead and reach the pinnacle of prosperity defying all odds,” Kamal said in his budget speech.
The budget eyes a 7.5 percent GDP growth rate in the next fiscal year (FY24) since the country is expected to return to higher growth trajectory by way of investing in the productive sectors and stimulating productivity and domestic demand, said the minister.
He said the annual inflation is expected to remain much controlled in the next fiscal year due to the decrease in the prices of fuel, food, and fertilizer in the global market, along with the adjustment of fuel prices in the domestic market and government initiatives to keep the food and supply systems normal.বিস্তারিত
