It fails to commit to reforms and address people’s sufferings
Budget admits we are in a crisis, but offers no direction out of it
British American Tobacco Bangladesh (BATB) saw a drop in its profits and sales in the January-March period of 2024, reasoning that people had cut back on smoking cigarettes amidst high inflationary pressure.
According to the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS), food inflation jumped 35 basis points to 10.22 percent last month from 9.87 percent in March. This was the first time in five months that food inflation hit double digits.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday directed the finance ministry to formulate a contractionary budget for the upcoming fiscal year to control inflation.
Inflation in Bangladesh fell seven basis points to 9.74 percent in April from a month ago on the back of declining prices of non-food items.
Why this behind-the-curve approach to fighting inflation?
