Focus on people economic wellbeing for a fantastic election: Debapriya to govt

Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD) Distinguished Fellow Dr Debapriya Bhattacharya has underscored the need for a more careful, energetic and sensitive approach to addressing the economic situation of the common people if the interim government intends to achieve ambitious reforms and hold a successful national election.
“If you want to really have ambitious reforms in the future and if you want to have a fantastic national election at the end of the line then you need to look at the economic situation much more carefully with more energy and more sensitivity for our people,” Debapriya said on Thursday.
The eminent economist made the remarks while delivering the keynote speech at the Distinguished Lecture Series: “The State of Bangladesh Economy: What Is To Be Done?” at a city hotel.
The Bay of Bengal Institute and Cosmos Foundation jointly organised the event.
