Finance Minister Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury has presented the proposed national budget for the 2026–27 fiscal year in the Jatiya Sangsad. The budget, under the government led by Prime Minister Tareque Rahman, totals Tk 9.38 trillion, which is Tk 1.48 trillion higher than the current fiscal year. The revenue target is set at Tk 6.95 trillion, with a deficit of Tk 2.43 trillion. The proposal includes adjustments in customs duties, VAT, and supplementary duties to boost revenue, protect domestic industries, and address public health concerns.

As a result of these measures, prices are expected to decrease for a wide range of products, including kidney dialysis services, heart stents, cancer medicines, medical equipment, laptops, computers, solar panels, electric vehicles, and locally produced electronics such as mobile phones and refrigerators. Conversely, prices of cigarettes, tobacco products, imported washing machines, alcoholic beverages, and several imported goods like honey, coffee, and tiles are expected to rise.

The proposed budget aims to balance revenue growth with consumer relief and industrial protection, signaling a focus on health, technology, and renewable energy sectors.
