Prime Minister and Leader of the House Tarique Rahman today (29 June) acknowledged the ongoing economic crisis gripping the nation but said the proposed FY27 national budget has successfully held up a beacon of hope for the public.
Speaking during the general discussion on the budget for the 2026-27 fiscal year, granting demands, and appropriations, the prime minister termed the financial plan a “life-friendly budget” that aims to provide a sense of relief to people from all walks of life.
The budget session of the 13th Parliament resumed at 10:31am with Speaker Hafiz Uddin Ahmad in the chair.
Refusing to shy away from the financial challenges facing the country, Tarique said there is no room to deny the existence of an economic crisis in the country.
He heavily criticised the previous Awami League regime, stating that the economy had been shredded to pieces during its autocratic rule.
He, however, said that his administration is not willing to use the ongoing crisis as an excuse.
Instead, the prime minister declared a firm commitment to rebuilding the economy, stating that the government intends to place the economy of Bangladesh on a new foundation.
