Dhaka, June 10 -- Amir Khosru walks a tightrope in making ends meet as he presents today his maiden national budget suiting the BNP-led government's economic priorities amid persistent inflationary pressure, sluggish private investment and weak employment generation.

The fiscal 2026-27 budget also happens to be the first of the BNP-led administration that assumed office following the February-12th general election held against the backdrop of political upheavals and uprising.

The Finance and Planning Minister, Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury, is set to place in parliament at 3:00pm the national budget with a record-high outlay.

It will also be the party's 17th budget since fiscal year 1976-77 and Bangladesh's 55th since independence.
