To face ongoing economic challenges, Bangladesh needs a transitional policy understanding, Debapriya Bhattacharya, Distinguished Fellow at the Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD) said.

Debapriya said this while addressing a live programme titled “Overcoming the Current Economic Challenges – Towards a Transitional Policy Understanding” on Thursday.

The CPD distinguished fellow suggested: 

1. Budgetary assumptions for FY23 and medium-term framework numbers are gradually becoming irrelevant

2. Given various uncertainties (national and global), need for a policy package for stabilisation and consolidation of the economy with short-term outlook (2-3 years)

3. This transitional policy package has to be developed through a participatory and consultative process

4. The obtained transitional policy consensus has to be protected from possible political distractions in the future

5. This package has to be implemented nimbly and efficiently, demonstrating inclusive leadership

6. Data-driven accountability framework has to be attached to the transitional policy consensus
