The National Citizens Party (NCP) has released its shadow budget for the 2026–27 fiscal year under the theme “Bangladesh 2.0: Sustainable Growth through Reform, Employment and Investment.” The proposals were presented on June 5 at the Rupayan Tower in Dhaka by party leaders including MP Hasnat Abdullah and Dr. Atik Mujahid. The shadow budget outlines 71 actionable policy recommendations across 12 major sectors, ranging from macroeconomy and taxation to education, health, agriculture, and clean energy.

Key proposals include limiting the budget deficit to 3.09% of GDP, setting total expenditure at Tk 8.52 trillion, and targeting 13% nominal GDP growth. The NCP also proposed reducing inflation to 8% in 2026–27 and to 6% by 2027–28, raising foreign reserves to USD 32 billion, and expanding the tax base through digital registration and mandatory tax filings. Other measures cover education funding, national health insurance, renewable energy incentives, and social inclusion programs.

The party’s shadow budget emphasizes fiscal discipline, transparency, and inclusive growth, aiming to balance social spending with macroeconomic stability if implemented.
