4. State of affairs of fiscal data in Bangladesh
(contd.)
II. Accessibility
All of the reports produced by the provider agencies are available in PDF
format
However, the monthly reports available through the NBR and IMED are
oftentimes provided in a script that cannot be reproduced (i.e. copy-
pasted)
Among the reports reviewed, only BB's Monthly Economic Trends is
published in both PDF and Excel formats
A major commonality exists amongst all the sources such that the
searchability of data within their website is limited
➤ For instance, the MoF website returns a blank page when searching for
the core data domains
All the sources exhibit similarity in terms of the websites having a non-
interactive web interface such that the data cannot be sorted
