Former IMF adviser and Habiganj-1 lawmaker Dr. Reza Kibria has called for ending policies that favor the wealthy and instead channeling direct financial support to low-income citizens. Speaking in the national parliament on Thursday during the general discussion on the proposed budget, he argued that giving extra money to millionaires has no positive effect on the economy, while even a small amount given to the poor immediately circulates through markets and keeps the domestic economy active.
Drawing on his 45 years of international experience, Dr. Kibria expressed frustration over the fragile banking system, rising inequality, and unproductive investments. He emphasized the practical importance of equitable income distribution, noting that wealthy individuals tend to save rather than spend additional funds, whereas poor households spend immediately, stimulating rural and local markets.
He urged policymakers to ensure that financial resources reach marginalized communities directly to maintain economic balance and strengthen internal demand.
