Analysts say at a dialogue organised by the Citizen's Platform for SDGs, Bangladesh with support from Manusher Jonno Foundation

There is no budgetary measure to protect the limited disposable income of the middle-class which is being depleted due to high food inflation, said Debapriya Bhattacharya, distinguished fellow of the Centre for Policy Dialogue.

The government should prioritise job creation and inflation control in the budget for the next fiscal year in a bid to help the marginalised people survive amid higher prices of essentials, said the Citizen’s Platform for SDGs, Bangladesh, yesterday.
