Annual Development Programme (ADP)

ADP revision: Govt doing opposite of what’s needed

It seems the government is doing an about-turn from the austerity stance taken at the start of the fiscal year.

Foreign aid use up 1.57pc in Jul-Aug

Foreign assistance utilisation by the government has gone up by 1.57 per cent year-on-year during the first two months of the current fiscal year, thanks to improvements in the use of project aid. 

Austerity hits July’s ADP spending

The government’s austerity measures have hit implementation of the annual development programme (ADP) in the first month of the current fiscal year, with just 0.96 per cent of the total allocation being spent, the lowest in the last four years. 

Govt to miss ADP target again

The pace of implementation of development schemes of the government hit a three-year high in May of the outgoing fiscal year with Jatiya Sangsad secretariat topping the list while the Finance Division sits at the bottom.

Level-headed development targets

Pragmatism was the order of the day when the finance division sat down to draft the development budget for fiscal 2021-22.

ECNEC approves 13 projects with Tk 12,415.79 cr

28 foreign-aided projects see slow implementation

The implementation of at least half a dozen foreign-aided projects involving more than Tk 6,000 crore has become uncertain as those

OPEN SKY / SANCHAYAPATRA - A TROJAN HORSE

Sanchayapatra – a supposed welfare instrument – is actually a Trojan horse that threatens the future of our development budget, and thus reduces growth potentials for the nation. The higher the sale of NSCs, the higher the future interest liability which will definitely eat up a bigger pie of our budget, reducing the share of the Annual Development Programme (ADP).
