Changing Global Scenario and Bangladesh Economy: What Should Be the Policy Stance?
Independent Review of
RBD
Bangladesh's Development
Policy stance
Subsidy on fuel, power and agriculture should be continued for
the next few months
➤ Any hike in the administered prices will have multiplier effect on inflation -
for the time being no adjustment of administered prices should be made
Priority for public expenditure should be set clearly
➤ More fiscal space should allocated for rising demands for subsidies and
social safety net programmes
➤ The earlier measures to cut down 'unnecessary and luxury' public
expenditure (e.g., government vehicle purchase) should be reinstated
➤ Focus should be on public infrastructure projects that are closer to
completion
➤ Tax evasion should be curbed by all means to generate resources for priority
expenditures
