Govt authorises 10-member panel to draft white paper

Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus has authorised the formation of a ten-member panel led by Dr Debapriya Bhattacharya to prepare a white paper on the state of Bangladesh economy.
A source in the Secretariat confirmed the development, though the specific names of the panel members are yet to be disclosed.
The panel, chaired by Bhattacharya-who is the convener of the Citizen Platform for SDGs and a distinguished fellow at the Centre for Policy Dialogue-will be tasked with crafting the white paper within 90 days.
This document will outline strategic recommendations aimed at stabilising the economy, achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and addressing the challenges faced by Bangladesh as it transitions from the least developed country (LDC) status.
