Finance Ministry to put National Budget in June
The Finance Division has asked organisations, professionals, researchers and economists to provide their opinions on the FY2020-21 budget proposal online as a pre-budget meeting cannot be organised due to the coronavirus outbreak.
"The federal government has taken this initiative to ensure that everyone can provide their opinions on the budget," a circular signed by the finance ministry's Public Relation Officer Gazi Towhidul Islam said.
"Stakeholders should be able to give their opinions until the formulation of the budget," it added.
Anyone can go to the Finance Ministry's website and click on "Opinion/Suggestion for Budget 2020-21 Preparation" tab to give their opinions on the budget. The ministry will consider all opinions.
Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal is likely to present the budget for the 2020-21 fiscal year on June 11 at the parliament.
