Council of Advisers approves Tk 790,000cr budget

The Council of Advisers has approved the national budget of Tk 790,000 crore for the fiscal year 2025-2026.

The budget proposal was finalised in a meeting on Sunday, presided over by Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus.

But, the decision to continue the provision for whitening black money, has been cancelled.

Earlier, the Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) strongly condemned the decision to continue the provision for whitening black money in the proposed budget for the fiscal year 2025-26.

The organisation said it reflects a stance completely contrary to the objectives of state reforms, particularly the core purpose of the Anti-Corruption Commission reform.
