NEC approves Tk230,000 crore ADP for FY26
  Bangla Press Desk: The National Economic Council (NEC) on Sunday approved the Annual Development Programme (ADP) worth Tk230,000 crore for the fiscal year 2025–2026. The NEC also approved a separate development outlay of approximately Tk8,599.71 crore for autonomous bodies and corporations, Planning Adviser Wahiduddin Mahmud told reporters after the NEC meeting. The approval came at the NEC meeting at its conference room in the capital chaired by Chief Adviser and NEC Chairperson Prof Muhammad Yunus. Like previous years, the ADP for FY 2025–26 has been formulated by taking into consideration the country’s available resources, foreign financing, and the overall macroeconomic situation.
Priority in the allocation has been given to ongoing projects funded by foreign loans and grants, poverty alleviation initiatives, employment generation, acceleration of GDP growth, agriculture and agro-based industries, education, health, ICT, science and technology, power generation, disaster management and rehabilitation, and human resource development. Projects under various ministries and divisions that are directly linked to these areas have been given precedence. The meeting was attended by members of the Advisory Council, the Cabinet Secretary, Principal Secretary to the Chief Adviser, Governor of Bangladesh Bank, members of the Planning Commission, senior secretaries and secretaries of different ministries, and other high-level officials.
