NEC to sit Sunday to consider Tk 2.30 trillion ADP for FY26

The National Economic Council (NEC) will sit tomorrow to consider a possible Annual Development Programme (ADP) with an outlay of Tk 2.30 trillion, keeping the highest allocation in the transport and communication sector.

NEC Chairperson and Chief Adviser Professor Dr Muhammad Yunus is scheduled to preside over the meeting to be held at the NEC conference room in the city’s Sher-e-Bangla Nagar.

Of the proposed ADP outlay of Tk 2.30 trillion for the next fiscal year (FY26), Tk 1.44 trillion is likely to come from the government of Bangladesh's portion while the rest of Tk 860.00 billion as project loans and grants.

Talking to BSS, a Planning Commission official said that the draft ADP for the next fiscal year is Tk 140.00 billion or 6.48 per cent higher than the revised ADP for the current fiscal year (FY25).

However, considering an allocation of Tk 85.00 billion from the concerned organization’s own fund, the overall ADP allocation for the next fiscal year is likely to reach Tk 2.38 trillion.

The original ADP size for the current fiscal year (FY25) was Tk 2.65 trillion, which later came down to Tk 2.16 trillion in the revised ADP.
