DHAKA, April 5, 2026 (BSS) - In a major move toward fiscal prudence, the government has slapped a series of rigorous expenditure controls and budgetary tightening measures for the revised budget of fiscal year 2025-26 (FY26). The directive, issued by the Budget Subdivision of the Finance Division, mandates strict adherence to new spending ceilings for the remainder of the fiscal year. Institutions are required to cap Entertainment and Hospitality expenditures at 50% of unused funds. Domestic Training is similarly restricted to 50% of unused funds, though this rule excludes Government Training Institutes. Funding for interior beautification is limited to 50% of unused funds.
