State of the Bangladesh Economy in FY2021-22

Independent Review of RBD Bangladesh's Development Recommendations Transparency and accountability mechanisms should be built into all COVID-19 related liquidity support packages, and more disaggregated data on the implementation status of all liquidity support packages should be published on a monthly basis. Disbursement of the government's COVID-19 liquidity support for small businesses, farmers, and low-income professionals should be expedited immediately. The government must acknowledge the actual scale of the COVID-19 crisis and then formulate a specific and target-oriented post-COVID recovery plan that aims to build back better. ➤ A thorough needs assessment should be conducted to understand the extent of damage done by COVID-19, the amount of support required, and the people who need the support the most. Public awareness about the liquidity support and fiscal stimulus packages should be raised through nation-wide campaigns so that the general population can clearly understand what kinds of support are being provided by the government, who are eligible for such support, and how to obtain that.
