The Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) has described the proposed national budget for the 2026–27 fiscal year as business and investment friendly. The organization stated that the real success of the budget will depend on the effective implementation of the announced reform programs. At a post-budget reaction event in Dhaka, DCCI President Taskeen Ahmed said the proposed budget of Tk 9.38 trillion and the Tk 3 trillion Annual Development Programme are significant for the economy, but improving implementation capacity is essential. He also noted that high revenue targets and debt-based deficit management could pose challenges for private sector liquidity.
DCCI welcomed several measures, including treating tax deducted at source as advance tax, reducing duties on industrial raw materials, setting lower tax rates on 60 essential goods, and announcing a five-year tax structure in advance. It also appreciated incentives for healthcare, renewable energy, and electric vehicles, while urging an increase in the tax-free income limit to Tk 500,000.
The chamber further endorsed the allocation of Tk 50 billion for CMSMEs within a Tk 600 billion stimulus package, special facilities for women and disabled entrepreneurs, and simplification of small business taxation. It said mandatory single-window systems, faster work permits, lower withholding tax on foreign loans, and policy reforms could attract domestic and foreign investment.
