Ordinary people want what they want in the new budget

Ordinary people want the necessary directions in this year's budget to keep the prices of daily products affordable. This budget will play a role in reducing their expectations, education, housing and living expenses. Besides, they think that the health sector should be given the most importance due to the Corona situation. Experts say that in order to reap the benefits, budget implementation needs to focus on transparency and accountability.

The Corona epidemic has caused a kind of stagnation in the country's trade and commerce. As the income of the organization has decreased, so has the income of the individual. So considering the low income people, this year's budget should be truly welfare oriented. Besides, the general public thinks that more importance should be given to health care due to corona.

The probable size of the budget for the fiscal year 2020-21 has been estimated at Tk 5 lakh 8 thousand crore. The allocation for the health sector has been fixed at 7.35 percent. Analysts say how well the budget works to keep the economy afloat in the wake of the Corona crisis depends on a combination of allocation and implementation. Be careful in spending. We have to ensure transparency and accountability.

Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal will present the budget for the fiscal year 2020-21 in Parliament on Thursday.
