Public Expenditure
Regrettably, the repeated incidence of inability to utilise planned budgetary
allocation continues in FY22.
Total expenditure posted a meagre growth of 1.4% during Jul-Dec of FY22
compared to the corresponding period of FY21.
➤ Largely driven by ADP expenditure (6.7%).
➤ Substantially lower than the revenue mobilisation growth of 15.3%.
ADP, as well as operational expenditure, will need to grow by 51.1% and 43.8%
respectively, over the remaining six months of FY22 to reach the public
expenditure targets.
The lower expenditure growth, coupled with higher revenue generation growth,
resulted in a budget surplus of Tk. 1,130 crore during the first half of FY22 - an
undesirable situation in the present context.
