Observer Online Report

Islami Andolan Bangladesh has expressed disappointment over the proposed national budget for the fiscal year 2025–26, calling it as 'traditional, conservative and uninspiring'.

In an immediate reaction to the budget on Monday night, joint secretary general of the party Maulana Gazi Ataur Rahman stated that the proposed budget appears to be conventional as it continues past trends.

"The size, revenue targets, ADP allocation, and GDP projections have all been scaled back, making the budget appear conservative and conventional. "

Gazi Ataur appreciated the government for not following in the footsteps of 'opportunistic authoritarian regime' by proposing an overly ambitious budget. "Avoiding unrealistic ambitions is a responsible step, and we acknowledge that."
