The Budget Analysis Competition is our effort to engage the youth of Bangladesh to critically examine the fiscal issues facing Bangladesh, analyze those important issues and form their own opinions about them, guided by relevant experts. It facilitates students to identify important questions about the direction of the nation and introduces them to the socio-politic-economic circumstances of the country. The main objective is to get the youth to start thinking about issues of social, economic and political relevance in the context of Bangladesh, with the long term goal of creating future leaders in the economic and political scene of Bangladesh.
The Budget Analysis by the students of both public and private universities was started in 2009 as the Budget Seminar. Starting this year, the program will undergo a structural and procedural change to take a look at the performance of previous years’ budget, use of funds and analyze the current year’s budget given by the AL government to see the performance of budgetary allocation.

The discussion was followed by an interesting question & answer session.

Some of the questions include (i) how is the parliament meant to work as indicated in the constitution? (ii) What are the ideal practices and attributes of the parliament?(iii) What are the areas where functioning of our parliament is deviated from the prescribed practice? (iv) What are the possible ways of ensuring that the parliament functions in a proper manner? (v) What are the roles of citizens in ensuring this level of accountability?
