National Budget to be Announced at 3pm Today

Finance Adviser Dr. Salehuddin Ahmed is scheduled to present the national budget for fiscal year 2025-26 before the nation today (May 2).

The pre-recorded budget speech will now be broadcast at 3:00 pm today instead of earlier scheduled 4:00 pm on that day through Bangladesh Television (BTV) and Bangladesh Betar, according to a handout.

In addition, all private television channels and radio stations have been requested to telecast and broadcast the budget speech simultaneously at that time by taking the feed from BTV, to ensure wider coverage of the national budget.
