Title: Budget to be realistic
Post by: kamruzzaman.bba on March 29, 2019, 01:03:20 PM
The budget for the next fiscal year will be realistic, meaning the government will be able to attain both the revenue and expenditure targets, said Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal yesterday.

“We will not set any target for the ministries. Rather, they will set their own targets that they can achieve,” he said at a pre-budget meeting with secretaries of all the ministries at the auditorium of National Economic Council.

The minister also said the National Board of Revenue (NBR) had set a revenue generation target of more than Tk 296,000 crore for the current fiscal year.

But the target will not be achieved, so it should be revised down, he said.

“In the next budget, we will not set the target for the NBR. The NBR will set its own target on the basis of how much revenue it will be able to generate, so that the goal does not need to be revised.”
