The National Citizens Party (NCP) has described the proposed 2026–27 fiscal year budget presented in the National Parliament as overly ambitious and detached from reality. Dr. Atik Mujahid MP, head of the NCP’s shadow budget committee, made the remarks in a statement on Thursday, June 11, 2026.

He stated that although the government has projected a deficit of about 2.5 trillion taka, the real figure could approach 4.5 trillion taka. According to him, the proposed revenue target of 6.95 trillion taka is unattainable under current economic conditions, and the shortfall in revenue collection could exceed 2 trillion taka.

The NCP’s criticism highlights concerns about the feasibility of the government’s fiscal projections and the potential for a significantly higher budget deficit than officially acknowledged.
