DHAKA, Aug 19, 2024 (BSS) - Adviser to the interim government on the
Ministries of Planning and Education Dr Wahiduddin Mahmud today said the
government is right now focusing on controlling inflation and does not want
to increase the money supply.

"Categorise the projects as per their importance," the Adviser asked the
Planning Ministry officials while delivering inaugural speech during his
first meeting with its officials and subordinate bodies held at NEC
Conference Room in the city's Sher-e-Bangla Nagar area today.

Mentioning that many projects have been taken by the political governments in
their constituencies considering their political objectives, he said: "But,
I'm not criticising political governments as they do so."

Regarding stopping the on-going projects in the middle of the implementation,
the Planning Adviser said: "The matter of consideration is what is the rest
of the cost and what will be the economical benefit after completion of that
project. This is the only consideration," he added.
