Government is working to reduce unnecessary expenditure: Commerce Adviser

The interim government is working to reduce unnecessary expenditure, said Commerce Adviser Sheikh Bashir Uddin.

He said this at the 45th meeting of the National Board of Revenue (NBR) Advisory Committee on Wednesday (April 30). Bangladesh Board of Investment (BIDA) Chairman Ashik Chowdhury was present at the meeting.

The commerce advisor said that earlier there was a budget to celebrate expenditure. The aim of the interim government is to implement a target-based budget by fixing the income and expenditure status.

The commerce advisor also alleged that in the past, businessmen have been at the forefront and have collaborated in corruption.

At that time, BIDA Chairman said that BIDA is trying to create business opportunities for businessmen by removing the government from business.
