Budget formulated with a three-year target: Finance Advisor

The budget has been formulated with a target of the next three years, and a revolutionary budget cannot be given, said Finance Advisor Dr. Salehuddin Ahmed. He said, we wanted to get out of growth and make the standard of living easier. The way forward is a friend, that is the budget in this context.

He said this at a post-budget press conference at the Osmani Memorial Auditorium in the capital on Tuesday (June 3) afternoon.

The Finance Advisor said, the economy was in ICE, there was chaos, institutions were destroyed. In such a situation, the interim government took responsibility. What would have happened if it had not taken responsibility in the midst of a crisis? He also raised the question.

He also said, the government had many challenges such as inflation, banking sector, energy sector, revenue collection—we had to make the budget amidst all these. Even then, the size of the budget we made for the first time did not increase.

The Finance Advisor said, we have to be sympathetic to the government so that we can move forward. We have global support. He also called for compassion for everyone moving forward.
