Why don\u2019t (the banks) have money? Of course, money is there. But there is no money to be looted,\u201d she told the Jatiya Sangsad here.<\/p>\n<p>The prime minister said this in the House while winding up the discussions on the supplementary budget for 2018-19 fiscal in absence of Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal.<\/p>\n<p>Pointing at the critics of the proposed budget for 2019-20 fiscal, Sheikh Hasina questioned how Bangladesh could accomplish so much development in the last ten years unless the budgets were not appropriate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome persons say that we could not implement the (previous) budgets. We can place budget, but can\u2019t implement it. If so, how have we been able to increase the size of budget from Taka 61,000 to over Taka 5 lakh crore today?\u201d she pondered.<\/p>\n<p>The premier said the government targets ambitious revenue collection and expenditures to some extent considering the development and GDP growth targets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, we target a little bit high amount during projection. There is also necessity for fixing an ambitious revenue collection target to some extent,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>She said Bangladesh has success stories for making impossible things possible in its last one-decade journey toward progress and prosperities. \u201cAchievements would have not been possible had we not ambition,\u201d she went on.<\/p>\n<p>About the supplementary budget, the Prime Minister said, \u201cOur budget needs to be amended, reviewed or fine tuned to some extent because of the reality, which we do every year. It happens in the budgets of all countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some 7.8 percent GDP growth was estimated in the budget for 2018-19 fiscal, but 8.13 percent GDP growth has been estimated in the supplementary budget, she pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was estimated in the budget that the inflation rate would be 5.6 percent. But 5.5 percent inflation has been estimated in the supplementary budget,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The Leader of the House added that the government has been able to keep the inflation under control due to cautious measures over designing and implementation of the budget.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/deshmediabd.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/14-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"534\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/deshnews24.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/14-4.jpg 534w, https:\/\/deshnews24.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/14-4-300x202.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prime Minister and Leader of the House Sheikh Hasina today dismissed liquidity crisis in the banking sector saying that certainly there is money in the banks. \u201cThere is an allegation that banks have no money.
