BNP leader Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury criticized the proposed budget for FY 2025-26, calling it a continuation of the previous government's approach. He argued that the budget should have been aligned with actual revenue income, which it fails to do. “The budget size should have been more conservative,” he said, adding that its implementation will be difficult for the current government. BNP will officially respond to the budget on June 4. Khasru emphasized that budgets based on real revenue allow for more liquidity in the private sector, boost investment, reduce interest rates, and lower dependency on foreign loans.
