Leading editors from print and electronic media have urged the government to prioritize inflation control, investment growth, and job creation in the upcoming budget. They recommended raising the personal income tax exemption threshold to over 400,000 BDT and expanding social security programs. Economic Advisor Salehuddin Ahmed stated that the new budget will not include extravagant mega projects or empty promises but will focus on building an equitable and welfare-oriented economy. He emphasized that Bangladesh cannot afford to delay its transition from LDC status and must tackle corruption and reduce unnecessary expenditures.
