A budget that forgot new poor exists

A budget that forgot new poor exists Says the CPD in its analysis of the proposed outlay for fiscal 2021-22 Staff Correspondent Staff Correspondent Expectations were high that the proposed budget for fiscal 2021-22 would address the hardships of the sizeable population of new poor created by the pandemic. But it failed on that count, said the Centre for Policy Dialogue yesterday. We have not seen any measure that will have any direct impact on the new poor, said Mustafizur Rahman, a distinguished fellow of the CPD, at a media briefing to disclose the think-tank s analysis of the Tk 603,680 crore budget announced by Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal on Thursday.

Focus more on agriculture | The Daily Star

The government should give importance to the agriculture sector, social safety net programmes, and job creation in the upcoming national budget in order to ensure food security and reduce the Covid-induced economic shock on the country s new poor, according to experts. Besides, the repeated heatwaves and pest damage hampered agriculture throughout the past year while the two nationwide lockdowns also had an impact on the market, particularly the poultry and dairy sectors. This made the food supply chain volatile and had adverse effects on retail. The US Department of Agriculture said that boro paddy cultivation may decline by 1.5 per cent this session due to the recent heatwave and pest attacks in Bangladesh.
