The budget
Not too long ago the budget for 2007-08 fiscal year was announced. No budget is flawless, it comes with its merits and demerits. Unfortunately, we have a bunch of economists who are always highly critical of any budget, irrespective of whether it is prepared by a democratic government or a caretaker government.
As a citizen of Bangladesh, my suggestion to any future government is: create a think tank of economists to produce the country's budget comprising Dr. Abul Barakat, Dr. Qazi Kholiquzzaman, and Professor Anu Muhammad.
I am sure this think tank will be able to prepare such a budget that will go a long way to solving our economic problems.
