Dr Rashed Al Mahmud Titumir, Prime Minister's Adviser on the Ministry of Finance and Planning. He noted that a core component of the government's economic plan is increasing the volume of internal resources without raising tax rates. Titumir explained that the government is leveraging increased revenue to fund groundbreaking social security measures, including Family Card and support programmes for religious leaders such as Imams, Muezzins, and priests. Titumir noted that these universal social security initiatives are unprecedented in Bangladesh's history. To ensure sustainable growth, the adviser said that the government is pursuing two main paths- structural reform and policy reform.
