Taskforce on economy to focus on reforms

Restore discipline in project implementation

The 12-member taskforce formed recently to reframe the development strategies, would focus on a good number of areas, especially bringing reforms in some sectors, finding out leakages in financial system and also restoring discipline in project implementation.
"We will propose to bring reforms in some sectors like urban transport and digital governance. We will intervene on those areas where it seems necessary to make interventions," said renowned economist KAS Murshid, head of the taskforce.
He was talking to reporters at the Nazia-Salma Conference Room at the Planning Commission in the capital this afternoon after Planning and Education Adviser Dr Wahiduddin Mahmud chaired the first meeting of the taskforce.
Earlier in this month, the taskforce titled "Re-strategising the economy and mobilising resources for equitable and sustainable development" was formed with former director general of Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies (BIDS) Dr KAS Murshid as its chair.
