To control inflation and reduce the pressure on foreign exchange reserves, the current interim government has planned to revise the budget for the current financial year. As part of the plan, there could be major changes in the budget, which could reduce wasteful expenditure by up to Tk 1 lakh crores.

Earlier last week, an official of the Finance Ministry said that formal discussions on this issue may begin in September.

He says there is little scope for fiscal budget cuts, so most of the changes will be from the Annual Development Program (ADP). Because most of the Ministries and Departments usually do not spend a large part of their budget allocation.

The Awami League government formulated a budget of Tk 797,000 crores for the current financial year before they were ousted by a mass coup on August 5. Out of this, ADP was Tk 2 lakh 65 thousand crores.
