Independent Review of Bangladesh’s Development (IRBD)
Independent Review of Bangladesh’s Development (IRBD), the flagship programme of the Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD), is a comprehensive assessment of the country’s economic development agendas, prepared by a group of Bangladeshi experts. Launched in 1995, it is Bangladesh’s first civil society initiative to analyse the trends in the economy, linking economic policies to development efforts. IRBD also seeks to provide voice to marginalised stakeholders.
STATE OF THE BANGLADESH ECONOMY
The State of the Bangladesh Economy report is a periodic assessment that analyses the country’s macroeconomic performance. By scrutinising major economic indicators, it identifies emerging challenges that policymakers need to address urgently, and provides recommendations for future actions.
NATIONAL BUDGET ANALYSIS
After the National Budget announcement every year, IRBD releases its analysis immediately. IRBD evaluates the expenditure and allocation decisions of the Government to ensure efficient and transparent utilisation of resources in alignment with national development priorities.
