Next budget to focus on GDP growth: Adviser
The next fiscal year's budget would focus on increasing GDP growth, employment generation and poverty alleviation, the finance and planning adviser said yesterday.
The budget would also focus on raising revenue collection to reduce dependency on foreign aid, Mirza Azizul Islam said addressing a pre-budget view exchange meeting in Chittagong.
Responding to the call of not preparing a budget as per the prescription of foreign financial organisations such as World Bank and International Monitory Fund, the adviser said the government would not make any decision with a prescription from outside that might harm the interest of the country.
Rather, he said, the government would make the budget keeping the development of the marginal people in mind.
He said the government is holding series of pre-budget discussions, as the country have not a parliament to reflect the opinion of the common people in the budget.
He said all the recommendations received from the pre-budget meetings would be examined and given on the website to help the public for giving opinion before finalising the budget.
