Finance Minister Abul Hassan Mahmood Ali is all set to unveil a possible Tk7,97,000 crore national budget for the next fiscal year (FY25) at Jatiya Sangsad (JS) in Dhaka this afternoon.
It comes amid the growing challenges of containing inflation, maintaining a sound foreign currency reserve, a stable exchange rate and generating more revenues.
This is going to be the country`s 53rd budget and the 25th of the Awami League (AL) government in six terms. This budget will also be the 21st under the rule of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in different terms.
The chronology of the national budget is given below along with budget size with amounts in crore:
